Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Compare CFU counts on antimicrobial vs standard scrubs in a clinical setting
* Assess CFU counts on the hands of HCWs wearing antimicrobial vs non-antimicrobial scrubs
* Assess HCW hand hygiene compliance during the study protocol
* Correlate device associated infection rates during protocol to historical controls
* Assess feasibility of applying protocol to a longer,12-24 month, prospective crossover-trial to definitively study and assess the impact of antimicrobial scrubs on HCW apparel and hand colonization, control of multi-drug resistance organisms, hand hygiene compliance, and device associated hospital acquired infection rates.
