Ward Infrastructure Survey — Hand Hygiene
Is it physically possible to clean hands at the point of care? One sheet per ward, once a quarter
What it is
Counts sinks, soap, towels, alcohol hand rub at the point of care, posters and reminders — per ward. Low compliance is usually an infrastructure problem before it is a behaviour problem.
