Topic > The Importance of PDCA Cycle Hand Hygiene Methods

This special watch has a built-in motion detector that detects when a healthcare worker moves from one patient room to another. The clock is color coded; it stays green as long as you are with the patient. It turns red and turns off as soon as you leave the patient's room to remind you to wash your hands. The watch tracks how many times the person has completed hand washing and how many times they have ignored the hand washing rule. Every watch is linked to responsibility. Managers pay attention to the data and confront those who do not respect hospital rules, regardless of their level. Sensors can be hooked to the sink and healthcare workers can wear badges that remind them to wash their hands (Terry, 2014). Smart sinks that beep if a healthcare worker refuses to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds will also be used. These technologies will help improve proper hand washing to reduce infection rates.Patient
