Quotes Cases With its Hand Hygiene Compliance solution, Versus helps hospitals prevent adverse events. “Nothing matters more than the safety of our patients. That’s why we are working with Versus and DCC to create an exciting, technologically-advanced system to decrease healthcare-associated infections. Their expertise is the ideal complement for our mission, and together we can create a culture of patient safety.” David J. Birnbach, M.D., M.P.H., Director of the University of Miami’s Center for Patient Safety Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, FL Infection Control functionality is a huge hit among Christiana Care Health System’s staff. “Staff feel protected as an outcome of tracking their interaction with patients. Let’s say, for example, that a staff member may have been exposed to a toxic or harmful substance. The RTLS allows every [badge-wearing] person that has come into contact with a patient or an exposure to be identified.” Linda Laskowski-Jones in “Manage Accountability, Measure Success” by Amy M. Walker, MS, RN, FACHE ADVANCE for Health Information Executives, April 2009

Advantages > Hand Hygiene/Infection

Hand Hygiene and Infection Control

Compliance with proper hand hygiene protocols is the single most important deterrent to hospital-acquired infections, but this critical step is overlooked 65% of the time.

If your facility is like most, you rely on quarterly observation periods, expensive hand hygiene audits or the ‘secret shopper’ approach just to compile data that in some way reflects hand hygiene compliance rates.

The Versus solution is to monitor actual hand hygiene compliance events in real-time all day, every day, and relate it to patient care. In this way, you can:

• Determine exactly how often hand washing is taking place
• Determine if the time between hand washing and patient care is appropriate
• Direct additional education/improvement efforts
• Conduct root-cause analysis

Advanced facilities can alert caregivers to non-compliant status prior to patient care, offering caregivers the opportunity to self-correct.

Infection Control has never been more important
By analyzing the movement of people or items and their interactions, you can track potential contagion pathways to prevent the spread of infection.

Late discovery of infections can be investigated, cross-contamination can be tracked and those who come into contact with known contamination can easily be identified for notification and treatment, if necessary.
