Running head: hand hygiene compliance1 hand hygiene compliance8Hand Hygiene Education Implementation and Nurses Compliance in Reducing Nosocomial Infections Grand Canyon University NRS-490 March 31, 2019 Background Hygiene is a very crucial factor in prevention of infection in any health care facility. Also, compliance of handwashing ensures patients safety, aids in the treatment and recovery of hospitalized patients. Hand hygiene is important action performed by healthcare works to prevent transmission of healthcare associated infection (Smiddy, O’Connell & Creedon, 2015). Health care professionals such as doctors, nurses, physical therapist and laboratory technicians, take the responsibility of providing efficient, effective and quality care that will improve the health of their patients. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the change proposal project components the author has been working on throughout the course. The goal of health care works rendering a quality, effective and efficient care to their patient in the health care setting will be difficult to achieve if the rate handwashing adherence is below expectation. Unclean healthcare environments harbor germs that can cause disease, thereby placing the patient at risk of developing infection instead of recovering from their present health condition. Healthcare providers inability to comply with hand hygiene is one the main reason patient develop hospital acquired infections (HAIs). Healthcare employees have the lives of patient in their hands therefore, hand hygiene should not by any means be neglected or dominated out in any healthcare facility. Approximately 250 health care specialists in a Metro Detroit facility happened to be watched and assessed directly; prior to the start of the exercise, participants were selected based on their hand washing comprehension and compliance. Partakers expresses that they observed improvement on handwashing practices and that most nurses complied to hand washing guidelines evidenced by some significant reductions in the rate of transmission of HAIs within the healthcare facility. HAIs are the infections a patient acquire during the period of hospitalization. The result of the research showed a huge decrease in the spread of nosocomial infections due to progress of hand hygiene training and nurses’ compliance to handwashing protocols. These infections mostly manifest during or after 48 hours of admission or thirty days after discharge from the hospital or health-care facility. The author of this research study sees HAIs as a dangerous disease with many complications. Because inadequate handwashing practices by healthcare workers are the main cause of spread of hospital acquire infections, it is important to educate staff members on proper hand hygiene, implement plan to encourage hand hygiene compliance in the healthcare settings. Blood-stream, ulcers / surgical wounds, CAUTI and respiratory infections are the most common types of HA.

MASUM BILLAH

This study assessed hand hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices among healthcare providers at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 500 doctors and nurses to understand their handwashing behaviors and identify barriers. While most providers had good knowledge and positive attitudes, actual handwashing compliance before and after patient contact was only around 60-70%. Factors like heavy workloads, lack of water/soap access, and inadequate training were found to influence practices. The researchers concluded hand hygiene promotion programs addressing these barriers could help reduce hospital-acquired infections.

1-Evidence-based practice is what keeps the health care system u

1-Evidence-based practice is what keeps the health care system up-to-date with technology and best-practices; these practices help improve patient outcomes. The first article that I read was research about improving the procedures for collecting and testing urine specimens. In the study, they observed how the collection method was carried out and how long it took for the specimen to reach the laboratory for testing. It was determined that not only were the collection methods flawed but the specimens were sitting too long at room temperature; both influenced the test results. Having contaminated specimens were producing unreliable test results and people were getting a wrong diagnosis with a wrong treatment plan. This study helped identify the major problems along with creating solutions to those problems: mid-stream clean catch, using straight-catheters, proper way to get a specimen from an indwelling-catheter, and appropriate time for the specimen to sit at room temperature. This research article helped improve patient outcomes because it increased the accuracy of the test results which yielded a more specific diagnosis; appropriate treatments increased patient outcomes. In our facility when we collect a urine specimen we keep the specimen in the refrigerator and call the labs for a stat pick-up. The second article that I read was on improves patient outcome fall prevention in 65+ adults. A prevalent safety issue is injuries that occur from Falls. Elderly and frail have a higher risk of falls that can lead into hip-fractures or even death. Accidental falls can result from an unsafe environment or environmental risk factors for example low blood pressure, dehydration, impaired mobility, unstable gait to name a few. To prevent/reduce the risk for falls staff need to maintain awareness of the environmental safety. I work in an Assisted living facility we have Fall-Risk Assessment tool that we use for each of our residents. But our main intervention is communication with staff and residents. We ensure that there is no trip hazard, we lower the bed to the lowest position when they are in bed, check their rooms and facility for potential safety issues, have mats on the floors next to their bed. 2-Two areas of nursing practice that have been under scrutiny in my facility involve Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) and Standard precautions. Both seem like basic concepts, but in nursing, sometimes the “basics” get swept to the back of your mind when you are focusing on other issues involved in patient care. Both of these concepts are integral parts of patient safety, which is and should be our number one priority. In the healthcare setting, the use of an indwelling catheter can be a necessity on many occasions. As nurses, it is imperative that we assess the need carefully for catheter placement, as well as continuously assess the need for the catheter to remain in place. According to a study put forth by BMC Health Services R ...

Ruby Med Plus

Today’s Dental Devices are often complex, which makes cleaning and re-sterilization process more difficult and lead to a potentially high risk for cross infections and device failure. In India, most instruments, in general dental practice, were designated as re-usable. Re-sterilization of instruments used on one patient for reuse on another has been common practice. Single-use device, often called SUD, is a medical / dental device used only on one patient for a single procedure. SUDs are classified as critical, semi-critical and non-critical according to the set of criteria known as spaulding definitions. The use of disposable instruments does not come without a significant cost to health care system as well as environmental concerns. (5). Reprocessing of used instruments is becoming more and more prevalent with overall goal of saving money and decreasing environmental pollution. (4).

This document describes efforts at Holtz Children's Hospital to reduce central line infections. The pediatric ICU was initially unable to reduce its infection rate of 9.1 per 1000 line days. It implemented a central line bundle from IHI, focusing on hand hygiene and using chlorhexidine swabs to clean catheter hubs. This reduced the infection rate. When ethanol swabs replaced the chlorhexidine swabs temporarily, the rate rose again. Permanently using chlorhexidine swabs maintained the lower rate. The transplant unit also reduced infections using these techniques.
