“Hand hygiene initiative” to reduce the Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI)
The “CleanYourHands” campaign has shown that an effective hand hygiene initiative can reduce some Health-care Associated Infections, according to a report in the BMJ.
MRSA bacteraemia rates fell from 1,88 to 0,91 cases for 10.000 bed-days and C. difficile infections from 16,75 to 9,49.
The campaign also produced sustained increases in the amount of alcohol handrub and soap bought by hospitals.
