Did you know?

Improving hand hygiene compliance isn’t only effective, but it can significantly reduce infection.

A study at Jiangsu Provincial Geriatric Hospital (2017–2023) used regular training, performance assessments, promotional campaigns, and monitoring of consumable usage to boost compliance with WHO’s Five Moments for Hand Hygiene.

From this study, we learn:

👉 Consistent training and monitoring = better compliance

Do you know about the 5 moments of hand hygiene?

The 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene are essential factors that define the moments when healthcare workers should perform hand hygiene. These 5 moments can help reduce the spread of germs:

1. Before Resident Contact
Clean your hands before touching a resident when approaching him or her.

2. Before Aseptic Task
Clean your hands immediately before performing a clean/aseptic procedure.

3. After Body Fluid Exposure Risk
Clean your hands immediately after an exposure risk to body fluids (and after glove removal).

4. After Resident Contact
Clean your hands immediately after touching a resident and his or her immediate surroundings when leaving.

5. After Contact with Resident Surroundings
Clean your hands after touching any object or furniture in the resident’s immediate surroundings, when leaving – even without touching the resident.

Remembering these moments helps reduce the spread of germs and protect both patients and staff.

Create healthier environments through common sense hand hygiene and improve hand hygiene practices in your facility with Symmetry Hand Hygiene.
