Hand Hygiene Audits
The HVH management team conducts hand hygiene audits regularly to track and
evaluate whether staff are compiling with appropriate hand hygiene practices. Results from the audits are posted throughout the facility for staff, residents, family, volunteers and visitors.
What is Hand Hygiene?
Hand hygiene is a general term referring to any action that removes visible soil and/ or kills germs on the hands. When performed correctly, hand hygiene is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and infections.
In health care, hand hygiene is used to eliminate transient microorganisms that have been picked up via contact with patients, contaminated equipment or the environment. Hand hygiene may be performed with alcohol-based hand rubs or, if hands are visibly soiled, with soap and running water.

Committee. April 2014).
