The Electronic Hand Hygiene Compliance System You Can Trust to Drive Clinical Outcomes

GET THE UPPER HAND on MRSA, C. diff. and Hand Hygiene Compliance A lack of hand hygiene compliance by healthcare staff continues to be a significant contributor to the spread of pathogens, resulting in HAIs and affecting hospital reputation and the risk of financial repercussions and penalties. The traditional method of direct observation is proven to be flawed and unreliable for measuring hand hygiene, inflating compliance rates by 300%. 1 According to the CDC, WHO and Joint Commission, real hand hygiene compliance lies at less than 50% 2 in most hospitals. The overall average direct cost of an HAI is up to $22,000. 3 Healthcare leaders are under pressure to drive quality improvement, eliminate HAC penalties and increase economic efficiencies. They know Direct Observation is unreliable and are moving to Electronic Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring Systems. But, not all electronic monitoring systems are created equal: Other systems are not clinically proven to accurately measure the WHO 5-Moments in real time Few have clinical evidence Some can be costly to implement & maintain It s time to take action with the DebMed Electronic Hand Hygiene Compliance System.

Delivering Clinically Proven Outcomes In a breakthrough MRSA reduction study published in the American Journal of Infection Control, the DebMed System: Increased hand hygiene compliance rates by 25.5% 4* Decreased hospital onset MRSA HAI rates by 42% 4* Resulted in the avoidance of approximately $434,000 in total costs of care * Statistically significant DebMed has additional clinical evidence demonstrating: Reduction in HAI s (MRSA and C.diff) by improving hand hygiene compliance 5,6 Significant cost savings as a result of improving compliance and reducing HAIs 6 Change in Hand Hygiene Compliance and MRSA HAIs with the DebMed System 4 30% 20% 10% 0-10% -20% -30% -40% -50% +25.5% Increase in Compliance -42% Reduction in MRSA HAIs A year-long study showed the DebMed System produced results nearly identical to 24-hour video monitoring. The system is as accurate as 24/7/365 video monitoring 7 Direct observation presented highly inflated compliance rates over the same period 110 Hand Hygiene Compliance Rates on Research Study Unit Direct Observation vs. Video Monitoring vs. Electronic Compliance System 7 Hand Hygiene Compliance (95% CI) 100 90 80 70 60 Direct Observation 92.3 95.2 24/7 Video Monitoring 75.3 73.6 70.8 71.3 DebMed Compliance System 91.8 66.9 66.1 66.1 64.5 98.9 96.8 + 65.8 65.0 Compliance rates with Direct Observation were overstated by almost 50% at study end Scientifically validated to prove the system accurately benchmarks the number of hand hygiene opportunities 50 Oct-Dec 2011 Jan-Mar 2012 Apr-Jun 2012 Jul-Sep 2012 Oct-Dec 2012 +DebMed System was as accurate as 24/7 video monitoring.
