Awareness Letter A member of our Pillar Goal Committee team will contact you to schedule a time to meet so we may partner in achieving increased hand hygiene in your area. We are all committed to minimizing the risk of healthcare associated infections. Performing hand hygiene is the most important action we can take to reduce the spread of these infections to our patients and ourselves. For FY11, VUMC s reach goal for hand hygiene is 95% compliance. A recent audit of hand hygiene observations places your area among those services with a low rate of compliance with hand hygiene. We are writing to share the data with you. 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 1 st Letter: Dec 2010 Intervention Letter Results as of March 31, st Letter: Jan st Letter: Feb % 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% VUMC Hand Hygiene Compliance The average compliance rate for all VUMC units was 80% in November 2010 and 79% for FY11 to date. Many units have achieved compliance rates above the threshold goal of 85%. For November 2010, your area compliance rate was 35%, and for FY11 to date, 47%. A member of our Pillar Goal Committee team will contact you to schedule a time to meet so we may partner in achieving increased hand hygiene in your area.
