A Prospective Controlled Trial of an Electronic Hand Hygiene Reminder System
Background. The use of electronic hand hygiene reminder systems has been proposed as an approach to improve hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers, although information on efficacy is limited. We prospectively assessed whether hand hygiene activities among healthcare workers could be increased using an electronic hand hygiene monitoring and reminder system. Methods. A prospective co...
متن کامل1504Implementing an Electronic Hand Hygiene Tracking Device at an Acute-Care Facility
Background. With hand hygiene (HH) compliance seldom reaching 50% in healthcare, electronic compliance monitoring systems (ECMS) are supplanting the gold standard of monitoring with direct observation and feedback to increase compliance. We sought to determine the impact on HH compliance of an ECMS in an acute-care facility and to analyze theoretical constructs of health care workers (HCWs) and...
متن کاملAn Electronic Clinical Research System
Clinical research typically requires the collection of multiple pieces of information from individual research subjects. These data are collected at specific events over a period of time. The nature of the information collected and the schedule according to which the information is collected differ among studies. However, the information gathered in such studies can conveniently be maintained i...
متن کاملQuantification of the Hawthorne effect in hand hygiene compliance monitoring using an electronic monitoring system: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND The Hawthorne effect, or behaviour change due to awareness of being observed, is assumed to inflate hand hygiene compliance rates as measured by direct observation but there are limited data to support this. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the presence of hand hygiene auditors was associated with an increase in hand hygiene events as measured by a real-time location system (RTLS). ...
متن کاملMotivating Process Compliance Through Individual Electronic Monitoring: An Empirical Examination of Hand Hygiene in Healthcare
The design and use of standard processes are foundational recommendations in many operations practices. Yet, given the demonstrated performance benefits of standardized processes, it is surprising that they are often not followed consistently. One way to ensure greater compliance is by electronically monitoring the activities of individuals, although such aggressive monitoring poses the risk of...
