Quality Improvement Update
Hand Hygiene Awareness
Every quarter the management team completes hand hygiene audits to measure our compliance with evidence- based hand hygiene standards. This means that we track whether our facility is meeting an acceptable standard of hand hygiene through anonymous observation of the 5 moments for hand hygiene. This fall and winter we are launching a Hand Hygiene Awareness Campaign.
This will include more education, observations, coaching and talks during department meetings. Raising our compliance rate is a team effort, across all departments; and we plan to work together to continue improving our rates this fall and winter.

Update on Mealtimes at HVH Resident Council has voted in unanimous favor during the March meeting to move the larger meal from lunch time to supper time. This was implemented and residents are enjoying the change based on the majority of feedback collected so far. Special holiday meals will be scheduled for lunches as specified. ~ Food Services Team
