In this episode, Martin talks to Professor Loreen Herwaldt, from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. We discuss three new papers on hand hygiene compliance that have come from data originally collected that looked at the implementation of surveillance feedback and barrier precautions for a study published in the NEJM (Huskins, W.C., et al., Intervention to reduce transmission of resistant bacteria in intensive care. N Engl J Med, 2011. 364(15): p. 1407-18. https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa1000373?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Two new papers focusing on hand hygiene aspects of care have already been published and a third has also been accepted. The first looked at hand hygiene compliance at critical points of care (Chang, N.N., et al., Hand Hygiene Compliance at Critical Points of Care. Clin Infect Dis, 2021. 72(5): p. 814-820. https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciaa130) and the second examined the sequence of patient care (Chang, N.C., et al., Hand hygiene and the sequence of patient care. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol, 2021: p. 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1017/ice.2021.82). The third paper that we discuss is a forthcoming paper on the time taken to perform hand hygiene.
