Hand Hygiene Compliance
良好的手卫生——洗手或使用洗手液——是防止细菌传播的最好方法. 卫生保健工作者在照顾每个推荐十大正规网赌平台前后都应洗手. Patients, families, and visitors should also practice good hand hygiene.
What is this measure?
Hand hygiene is a key priority at Johns Hopkins Medicine. 手卫生是指用肥皂和水洗手或用洗手液洗手. Hand hygiene is a simple yet effective way to prevent infections.
预防感染领域的专家与我们的卫生保健提供者一起工作, patients, and families to make sure that they always keep their hands clean. 这有助于防止引起感冒、流感和其他感染的病毒和细菌的传播.
At Johns Hopkins Medicine, 某些员工接受过培训，要观察医务人员如何保持双手清洁. They observe doctors, 护士和其他医护人员在进入或离开推荐十大正规网赌平台的房间前检查他们是否洗手或使用抗菌凝胶.
Johns Hopkins Medicine takes hand hygiene very seriously. More than 65,000 hand hygiene observations are monitored each year. This information is shared with hospital staff and leadership. 这些信息用于帮助持续改善我们卫生系统的手部卫生，以便我们能够为所有患者提供最安全和最好的护理.
Why is it important?
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 洗手是预防疾病传播和感染的最有效方法之一. 细菌可以在物体表面存活数小时，并经常通过身体接触在人与人之间传播.
医护人员会接触到推荐十大正规网赌平台、设备和病房里的其他物品. 在医院里，有很多手部卫生的机会来帮助我们的推荐十大正规网赌平台保持安全. Ensuring doctors, nurses, and other staff have clean hands is critical to prevent the spread of illness.
According to The Joint Commission, a health care accreditation organization, 直接观察员工的手卫生是衡量手卫生依从性最有效和准确的方法.
What is Johns Hopkins doing to improve?
约翰霍普金斯医学院为所有医护人员100%遵守手部卫生规定而努力.
Awareness and Education Campaigns
Regardless of job role, 约翰·霍普金斯医学院的每一位员工都必须保持良好的手部卫生，以保护我们的推荐十大正规网赌平台, visitors, colleagues, and friends.
医院周围张贴着海报和标志，提醒医护人员, patients, and visitors to wash their hands or use a sanitizing gel. 如果员工和推荐十大正规网赌平台注意到有人忘记洗手，他们也被鼓励说出来.
约翰霍普金斯大学医学院也对可能没有直接接触推荐十大正规网赌平台的工作人员进行培训, but still play a vital role in infection prevention through good hand hygiene.
Keeping Staff Accountable
我们不断使用标志和教育来提醒员工手卫生的重要性. 如果所有员工看到有人忘记洗手，都鼓励他们说出来.
约翰·霍普金斯医学院的每一家医院也都有员工表彰计划，奖励那些始终保持良好手部卫生习惯的员工和单位. 我们的许多设施也有项目和资源，对被发现忘记洗手的员工进行直接反馈和指导.
