研究措施教育的影响，卫生遵守信息

你多久一次清洁手？罗德岛医院观察工作人员的研究人员在161,526场所进行监测，监测他们在2008年7月至2012年12月至12月期间清理手（即手工卫生），发现卫生合规从60％提高到89％。该研究在杂志上的印刷前在线发布感染控制和医院流行病学。

发现患者发现有更多手卫生遵守时卫生保健工人在进出患者的房间时留下患者房间，该患者用抗生素抗性细菌感染或殖民，以及在晚上转移期间照顾患者。在出版物中，调查人员还概述了感染控制和预防计划在罗德岛医院使用，显着改善了医生，护士和支持人员之间的手工卫生遵守情况。

医院相关的感染对美国的医疗保健产生重大影响2009年，CDC估计，美国医院此类感染的年度直接医疗费用为360亿美元至450亿美元。

"Hand hygiene is the most important intervention to reduce the risk of hospital-associated infections, but many hospitals have struggled to develop a culture of safety where high hand hygiene compliance becomes the norm rather than the exception," said principal investigator Leonard Mermel, D.O., medical director of the department of epidemiology and infection control at Rhode Island Hospital. "With use of a process improvement program that engaged hospital administration at the highest levels, as well as hospital staff from housekeepers, to facilities engineers, to nurses, doctors and others, we were able to dramatically improve our hand hygiene compliance in a sustainable fashion, thereby reducing the potential for harm in our patients".
