Peer-reviewed methodology
A
Cost-Conscious Measure
The J.C.
and W.H.O. recommend a minimum
number of observations to measure
compliance. However,
observation is costly and only covers a small portion of
healthcare worker / patient
contacts. Compare costs:
|
Cost Est.

~4
units |
~22
units |
|
Observ. |
$6,656 |
$36,
608 |
|
MMI |
$2,000 |
$2,000 |
Since you must observe,
target your resources in problem areas
identified with MMI's program.
Based on Infection
Preventionist
median base salary $32/hr (not
inc. benefits). MMI’s reports allow you to
monitor additional units without
adding to the cost of the
program.

McGuckin Methods
International offers hand hygiene compliance
education, training, and measurement
programs.
Infection Preventionists trust our
peer-and health-agency-reviewed
standard for analysis and
confidentiality. This
program is listed as a Patient Safety
Organization by the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ).
These are the resources you've read about as
part of a multi-modal program into your
facility which are
in the Joint Commission's monograph on hand
hygiene adherence (McGuckin program has four
submissions) and the World Health
Organization's Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in
Health Care (McGuckin lead author on patient
empowerment).
Together,
let's reduce healthcare-associated
infections, their alarming cost to our
healthcare system and distressing impact on
patients and families by increasing your
hand hygiene rates.
Boyce (JHI,
2008 70(S1) referring to MMI program):
Advantages of this approach include that fact that such
measurements are relatively easy to conduct and are
feasible in a variety of healthcare settings.
Boyce
(ICHE Oct. 2011 referring to MMI program):
A number of hospitals have found
the information useful for providing HCWs feedback
regarding their performance.
Marra, et al.
(ICHE Aug. 2010):
Direct observation cannot be considered the
gold standard for assessing hand hygiene,
because there was no relationship between the
observed adherence and the number of dispensing
episodes or the volume of product used. Other
means to monitor hand hygiene adherence, such as
electronic devices and measurement of product
usage, should be considered. |
