Comparative study demonstrates variable event capture accuracy between electronic hand hygiene systems in clinical workflows, highlighting the need for technology validation.
Interest in electronic hand hygiene monitoring systems (EHHMSs) is now widespread throughout the infection control community. We tested 2 types of EHHMS for accuracy. The type B EHHMS captured more HH events with superior accuracy. Hospitals considering an EHHMS should assess the technology's ability to accurately capture HH performance in the clinical workflow.
