Re: Hand Hygiene video by Alfred Health

Do you feel Hand Hygiene, although very important, is actually a back up
measure in controlling these dangerous pathogens. If MRSA, CRE or Ebola
is spread by a healthcare workers’ hands then it must have one time gotten
on these hands. The colonization of the healthcare worker would then
represent a failure in containment and control. Shouldn’t containment and
control and the prevention of exposure of the healthcare worker to these
pathogens be our primary focus??
