Hand Sanitizer, Hygiene Training Still Lacking at US...
March 6, 2014 - Approximately one in five U.S. health facilities
don’t make alcohol-based hand sanitizer available at every point of
care, missing a critical opportunity to prevent health care-associated
infections, according to new research from Columbia University School of
Nursing and the World Health Organization (WHO) published in the
American Journal of Infection Control. The study, which examined
compliance with WHO hand hygiene guidelines in the U.S., also found that
only about half of the hospitals, ambulatory care, and long-term care
facilities had set aside funds in their budgets for hand hygiene
training.
