Hand Hygiene: Key Concepts During healthcare delivery, there are four moments when it is essential that you perform hand hygiene. It is essential that everyone perform hand hygiene using the appropriate technique and time duration in order for it to be effective. Alcohol-based hand rub is the preferred method of Hand Hygiene

Hand Hygiene: WHY ? Hand hygiene is the single most effective way to prevent the transmission of healthcare-associated infections. Good hand hygiene saves lives and reduces the strain on our healthcare system. 1 It takes less than one minute to properly wash hands using soap and water and less than 30 seconds to properly clean hands with alcohol-based hand-rub. Both methods are effective. 1 Roth, Virginia, MD, FRCPC “Hands that harm, hands that heal” November 2006 PowerPoint presentation, slide 31

Hand Hygiene: Importance Did you know that As a health care provider (HCP) you are also a vehicle for carrying around infectious organisms 80% of staff who dressed MRSA infected wounds carried the organism on their hands for 3 hours afterwards Within ½ hour of contact with the environment of a patient with Clostridium difficile, 60% of the hands of staff were contaminated without even touching the patient Performing hand hygiene with soap and water in these cases virtually eradicated these organisms! Stone, S.P. JR Soc Medicine 2001: 94(6); 278-281. Cited in Mitka, M. JAMA 2009: 302(17) reprinted.
