Hand hygiene
INTELLIGENT DESIGN
Smartlink with integrated badge-based technology tracks hand washing at the individual and systemwide levels. It works with the company’s touch-free dispensers and not only records every hand-washing opportunity, but also whether hand washing occurred. The software collects the data to calculate estimated hand-hygiene compliance rates.GOJO Industries
GOOD TO GO
This hand-hygiene system records all hand-hygiene events upon entering or exiting a patient room. Every time a health care worker uses a hand-wash dispenser, a sensor sends an alert to the worker’s badge, setting off a green, blinking light. A monitor at the bedside reads the badge and vibrates a reminder to the worker to wash his or her hands if the badge is not green.HyGreen
CLEAN HANDS
Equi-Soft Foam antimicrobial hand soap uses a benzalkonium chloride, paraben- and dye-free formula that delivers the efficacy of a medicated soap with the mildness of non-medicated soaps. It protects against Acinetobacter, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Ecolab
KEEPING ON TRACK
The green, yellow and red status lights on this badge system provide hand-hygiene accountability at the point of care. Simply placing a hand over the badge lets medical staff know if they are in compliance before administering care. Those events are recorded 24/7 and reported to a base station for monitoring. The system is compatible with various hand-washing dispensers.Biovigil Healthcare Systems Inc.
