Elpas Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring Solution

Compliance with hand hygiene protocol in hospitals can significantly minimize the risk of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). The Center for Disease Contro Elpas RTLS Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring Solution l
(CDC) estimates that each year in the United States, approximately 1.7 million HAIs are contracted. Many caregivers simply forget to wash their hands as they are in a rush to complete another task.

Others claim that there are times when soap and water aren't conveniently located. Unfortunately, the monitoring and recording of caregiver compliance proves to be a burdensome and often times an impracticable task.

The Elpas RTLS Hand Compliance Monitoring Solution is designed to help hospitals achieve their goal of increased hand washing compliance by automatically documenting whether staff members wash their hands before and after patient encounters.

How Elpas Hand Hygiene Works

Each caregiver is issued an Elpas Active Identity Badge. So when the caregiver uses a hand washing station or sanitizer, a nearby Elpas LF Exciter triggers the personal badge tag worn by the caregiver to transmit hand washing event messages that identifies the caregiver and the time that the specific dispenser was used.

Elpas RTLS Readers relay this time-critical hand hygiene data over the hospital's Ethernet network to the Eiris Command & Control Server that provides hand hygiene compliance reporting and alerting.

The Elpas Hand Hygiene Solution can also alert administrators of non-compliance incidents in real-time as well as alerting those caregivers to their non-compliant status prior to providing care.
