Attaching hand hygiene (HH) product to equipment is a way to have point of care access to HH e.g. weigh chairs, equipment trolleys.
The hand hygiene product representative is a good resource to support hand hygiene availability .The rep will know what other possibilities there are for increasing access to the HH product you use, such as brackets (usually provided free of charge).
Hand hygiene compliance of HH on entering and leaving a resident’s room is a helpful message.
