Quality & Safety Outcomes

Hand Hygiene

Effective health care worker hand hygiene is a core strategy in the prevention of health care associated infections and the transmission of antimicrobial resistance. Kings Park Day Hospital participates in the National Hand Hygiene Initiative, the purpose of which is to develop a national approach to improving hand hygiene in Australian health care organisations and monitor its effectiveness.

Core components of the National Hand Hygiene initiative include provision of alcohol-based hand rub at numerous points throughout our day hospital, staff education, and auditing with performance feedback of hand hygiene compliance.
