Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal hand hygiene system in the intensive care unit environment and evaluate any impact on health care associated infections.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Deploy and utilize a novel body worn hand hygiene system that incorporates provider and group specific feedback allowing hand hygiene to occur directly within the patient environment. We hypothesize that by improving provider hand hygiene we will reduce health-care associated infection rates.
