Importance of Hand Hygiene in Healthcare Settings

Hand hygiene plays a crucial role in preventing nosocomial infections, reducing MRSA incidence, and cutting costs in healthcare facilities. Studies have shown a significant decrease in infection prevalence and MRSA cases, as well as substantial cost reductions with proper hand hygiene practices. Monitoring and evaluation methods include staff observation, installing hand hygiene alcohol stations, and monitoring alcohol consumption. Open discussion and continuous improvement are essential for maintaining high hand hygiene standards.
