What is LHSC doing?

Changing hand hygiene habits involves a cultural shift for everyone, which will take time. But it is a shift that must occur. LHSC is continuing with a number of initiatives designed to help improve compliance with, and awareness of, the four moments for hand hygiene, including ongoing education, the Just Clean Your Hands education program, and the constant acquirement of more alcohol based hand rub dispensers for our organization placed right where care is given.

The hand hygiene compliance data LHSC is currently reporting was generated from an August 2009 hand hygiene audit.
