Introducing best practices and innovative new initiatives to improve hand hygiene compliance in hospital and care institution environments to increase patient safety during and after pandemics

Closed

Health care operations cannot be shut down during outbreaks without severe detrimental effects on the health of the population. According to WHO many expensive healthcare-associated infections can be avoided by good hand hygiene practices. Thus, good hand. The goal of the proposed project is to share best practices and launch new initiatives that improve hand hygiene compliance. Our target group is in hospital and primary care environments where we aim to increase patient safety during and after pandemics. We also involve research institutions, private health care companies, and companies that have interests in developing medical technology.
