A new study shows a correlation between technology and hygiene compliance among healthcare workers, according to an article on the McKnight's Longterm Care website.
According to the Tork study, 95 percent of healthcare professionals said it’s important for facilities to use technology, such as hand-hygiene monitoring systems, to mitigate infections.
Nearly 70 percent said introducing technology to their facilities has helped improve hygiene compliance.
According to the World Health Organization, hand hygiene remains the most important tool in fighting hospital-acquired infections.
