- This video demonstrates how to approach someone who has not properly cleaned their hands while fostering a sense of team accountability and personal mindfulness. Delivering feedback properly can improve performance by being timely, individualized to a person or specific unit, and non-punitive. It is also helpful to focus on one’s own actions by being mindful, connecting the act of hand cleaning to the prevention of infection, and being open to giving and receiving feedback.

- Evaluate: Using Hand Hygiene Data for Action
- Runtime

- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- This video describes various observation and auditing techniques for facilities to incorporate into their hand hygiene program to improve adherence. Credible data are obtained through a variety of methods, often used together. Direct overt observation evaluates demonstrations of skill where lapses can be corrected immediately. Indirect covert observation is often called the “Secret Shopper” method, and mechanisms should be put in place to address non-adherence immediately following a lapse in hand cleaning. Other methods include automated data collection for continuous monitoring and conducting routine environmental evaluations of the functionality of hand cleaning supplies. Communicating the results back to the frontline is a critical part of engaging personnel, improving adherence, and preventing infections. The Hand Hygiene Foundations Learning Series consists of four videos and was developed in partnership with the American Hospital Association (AHA).

Hands should be cleaned before touching a patient, before an aseptic task, or when moving from a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same patient. Hands should also be cleaned after touching the patient or their environment, after contact with contaminated surfaces or body fluids, and immediately after glove removal. This video includes demonstrations on sanitizing with alcohol-based hand sanitizer (ABHS), hand washing with soap and water, and glove removal noting that gloves do not replace the need to clean hands.

- Description
- During an anthrax emergency, antibiotics like doxycycline can keep people from getting sick with anthrax if they start taking them as soon as possible. The video is for parents of young children and for anyone who cannot swallow pills. These instructions should ONLY be used during an anthrax emergency and ONLY with the doxycycline tablets that health officials provided. The video shows how to soak the doxycycline tablet in some water to make it easier to crush; how to measure the right amount of doxycycline according to how much the child weighs; and how to mix the doxycycline with food or a drink to make it easier to swallow. If a child has been given doxycycline tablets to take during this emergency, parents should have also received written doxycycline tablet crushing instructions that show them this process.
