Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] Moments of Hand Hygiene

Hi All
I am fairly new to the role as a centralised IPC lead. Prior to taking on the role, in the recent time my organisation had adopted 4 moments of hand hygiene instead of 5 moments and the rationale behind this is 5 moments apparently doesnt support aged care setting. If we are to apply a 5 moments, we must either have a ABHR at each residents bedside or alternatively all staff would need to carry hand gel with them. The posters were changed from 5 moments to WHO 4 moments.
This was not something that I have implemented, but was there in place. When I started our HH audit, my audit template was based on 4 moments. However, recent SA health online infection course that all aged care workers required to complete still has 5 moments. I find this quite misleading for the staff given there are now 2 different instructions to follow. I was wondering if other organisation follow 4 or 5 moments. If 5, how do you make sure this is followed correctly by staff.
I would really appreciate some response.
