Description

Develop and adopt a culture change to increase hand hygiene compliance across all St. Cloud Hospital (SCH) inpatient and outpatient departments

• Hand hygiene is the best method to prevent the spread of infection (CDC, 2017).
• Historical data for SCH indicated below desired goal of 95% compliance with hand hygiene practices and continued identification of hospital associated infections.
• Employee engagement best achieved through promoting culture of safety supporting hand hygiene best practices (Piras et al., 2018).
• Educating staff on the WHO 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene, developing monitoring process for assessing opportunities to complete moments of hand hygiene, and providing detailed feedback can enhance results and improve culture (Haas, 2014).
• All staff survey identified best sources of performance feedback comes from peers and direct leadership.
