12 Call to Action for Hand Hygiene Lisa Maragakis, MD, MPH Healthcare-associated Infections and Resistant Organisms 24 Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) Surgical Site Infections (SSI) Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) Multidrug resistant Gram negative bacilli Clostridium difficile Influenza Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Varicella TB 12

13 How Do We Prevent HAIs and MDRO Transmission? 25 Hand hygiene Standard and isolation precautions Evidence-based best practices Surveillance/ data feedback Immunizations Cleaning, disinfection, sterilization Antimicrobial stewardship Hand Hygiene Indications Upon entering and exiting a patient room Between patient contacts if >1 patient in a room Before and after touching a patient who is not in a room (on a stretcher or wheel chair in the hall) Before donning and after removing gloves Before handling invasive devices After contact with blood or body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, non- intact skin or wound dressings Any time needed such as after sneezing, or coughing before handling food or oral medications to patient room Before & after touching wounds Soap and water required AFTER care of patient on isolation for C. difficile or Norovirus 13

14 A Sobering Letter Today would have been my beloved wife s birthday. She died in your hospital I witnessed many gross violations... not limited to one building, one floor, or one individual. staff with colds coughing and sneezing in my wife's room without masks on doctors not washing their hands upon entering the room, they replied that these were simply guidelines, and that the staff person could opt to proceed at their own risk.. Best Practices to Prevent CLABSI Line Insertion Line Maintenance 1. Perform hand hygiene before and after catheter insertions or manipulation 2. Use chlorhexidine for skin preparation 3. Use full barrier precautions during insertion 4. Avoid using the femoral site in adult patients 2. Hub care 3. Site care 4. Tubing care 5. Assess the need for the catheter each day and remove ASAP 14

15 Best Practices to Prevent SSI Clean hands (surgical scrub) Use antimicrobial prophylaxis when indicated Right time (within 1 hour of incision) Right dose Right agent Appropriate duration Chlorhexidine skin prep applied correctly Clippers for hair removal (not razors) Control glucose and temperature Use appropriate FIO 2 Best Practices to Prevent VAP Hand hygiene Elevate the head of the bed >30 degrees Oral care with chlorhexidine Sub-glottic suctioning ET tube Sedation vacation Daily assessment of readiness to wean 15

16 Respiratory Etiquette Clean hands Cover your sneeze Get immunized (flu vaccine) Immunize your patients for flu and pneumococcus Wear a mask if you have a cold Do not work if you have influenza-like illness or any febrile respiratory illness Does hand hygiene work? YES!! Alcohol hand rub and old fashioned hand washing work well Reduces organisms on HCW hands Reduces infection rates Reduces mortality Doebbeling 1988, AIM:109;394-8 Larson 1988, ICHE:9;28-36 Pittet D, et al.

Am J Infect Control April 2003 Why is Compliance So Poor? Skin dryness and irritation with frequent washing No time to wash hands (too busy) Inconvenient sink location Adherence not typically tracked individually no records kept Not rewarded Adverse events aren t immediate and their relationship to the missed HH opportunity isn t always clear Pittet, Ann Intern Med, Jan 19, 1999; Boyce Editorial 19

20 Another Sobering Letter. Dear Editor: The editorial on hand washing calls for all hospital staff to start regularly washing their hands between each patient contact. If, as the authors claim, there is such compelling evidence for the need to wash hands between each patient contact then why do I and the vast majority of my colleagues not do it? Firstly, I have never seen any convincing evidence that hand washing between each patient contact reduces infection rates. Secondly... Washing hands between each contact (at 1-2 minutes per wash) would take on average 1-2 hours. Where will this time come from, and who will fund it? If hand washing is to be performed between every patient contact then it would have major resource implications. For this it needs to be shown to be effective and worth the 15% extra staffing that would be needed to cover the extra time. -Andrew Weeks, specialist registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology BMJ 1999 Correlation Between High Workload and Lower HH Compliance Ward opp/ hr care ICU 43 opp/ hr care Decrease of compliance by 5% per 10 opportunites per hour Pittet D. Ann Intern Med

21 So is there any good news?? Yes! Multifaceted interventions; rigorous monitoring and feedback; rewards, recognition, and accountability can lead to improvements and good HH performance Improvement requires perseverance, dedication, engagement, leadership support, creativity and adaptability Hand Hygiene Compliance for JHH: January 2009 May % 90% CY 2013 Goal: 90% Hospital Mean: 91% 80% Hand Hygiene Compliance 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 21

22 Hand Hygiene Is the cornerstone and of upmost importance to our infection prevention efforts Leads to decreased HAIs and MDRO transmission Is difficult BUT POSSIBLE to achieve SHEA, IDSA and their partners are in the process of updating the Compendium of Strategies to Prevent Healthcare-associated Infections which will include a new section on Hand Hygiene Questions? 44 Raise your hand Use the Chat 22

31 Downloadable training materials/ videos & competency exam Scenario videos and practice with the data collection form 61 Purpose Data collected Who Data Collection Method HH data collector (observer) To be an unbiased observer for hand hygiene compliance. Hand hygiene compliance data is used for establishing the baseline Hand Hygiene performance Secret shoppers : anonymous observers collected data on physical barriers of non-compliance without influencing the observed behaviors. Using staff in a position where they can secretly observe staff while performing their regular job duties and not seem out of place during their time on the unit. Example: housekeeping and lab staff, chaplains, volunteers. Just-in-time coach To intervene when hand hygiene noncompliance is observed and coach staff on proper compliance. Data collection will begin after the baseline data has been collected and the compliance data shared with staff. JIT coaches capture non-observable cultural barriers by interviewing health care providers after an observed instance of non-compliance. Approach staff when defects (noncompliance) occur and have staff to explain how the defect occurred since some defects cannot be observed (i.e., distractions, skin irritation). Example: unit managers, charge nurses, infection control practitioners, executives/leadership, and quality coaches or unit-based educators

37 Michael Shabot, MD Memorial Hermann System CMO We fully attribute to the Center for Transforming Healthcare s hand hygiene [tools] the final drop in HAI rates to zero or near-zero system-wide. After implementing CTH hand hygiene, our hospitals began to report zeros as their most common monthly CLABSI and VAP result. Our mothers were right after all! Feel free to quote me.
