Our Clinical Experts Help Interpret Your Data and Implement Improvement Programs

Increasing and sustaining hand hygiene performance can be a challenge due to resources, competing priorities, and lack of performance improvement methodologies. These factors contribute to the fact that hand hygiene performance rates average less than 50% nationally.1 Our clinicians are available to offer expertise every step of the way – from consultations to data analysis to improvement plans.
