Culture after Cleaning Healthcare worker's Hand
Culture of Healthcare worker's hand after palpating a patient with MRSAThese are images from the Jan 15 2009 New England Journal of Medicine. They are startling reminders of the need to consistently and constantly maintain hand hygiene in the healthcare setting.
To bring home the message on hand hygiene - watch this excellent skit by the SGH team at the recent Quality convention. The yellow balloons are bugs, the yellow stickies are bugs passed on from contacts and become a source of contamination from one patient to another. This light-hearted skit brings home a serious message for all healthcare providers "Wash our hands for excellent patient care".
