Healthcare Acquired Infection - Prevention

“Cleaner care is safer care”

Good hand hygiene is one of the most important and effective ways of stopping the spread of Healthcare Associated Infection (HCAI). Effective implementation and operation of the Chemex hand hygiene solution will help to ensure safe and effective care by reducing infection and pathogen eradication. Care and nursing home residents, hospital inpatients and visitors, healthcare staff, patients and residents families and all visitors to healthcare facilities will all benefit from a cleaner and, therefore, safer environment.

The most important thing to do to prevent transmission of infection is effective hand hygiene. However, studies continue to show that health care workers undertake hand hygiene less than half the time they should. It needs to be performed:

    - Before providing care to the client/resident
    - Between dirty and clean activities
    - When PPE is removed
    - When leaving the client/resident

    - Use an alcohol-free hand rub or hand washing with bactericidal plain liquid soap and running water.

    - The use of an alcohol-free hand rub is the preferred method of decontamination of hands that are not visibly soiled. This needs to be available at the point of care.

    - Use hand hygiene after touching body fluids, excretions, blood and contaminated items in the client/resident’s environment.

    - Wash hands or use alcohol-free hand rubs:
        - after removing PPE
        - between clients/residents
        - before contact with clean items
        - before aseptic practices on a patient

Hand hygiene also includes caring for hands to maintain intact skin. Regular use of hand lotion is recommended.
