A new color-coded monitor will alert patients and healthcare providers if doctors, nurses or aides need their hands washed or sanitized again, according to an article on the Star Tribune website.
Healthcare workers wear a badge that shows different lights that can let them know if their hands are properly sanitized.
The badge system, designed to be visible to the patient and visitors, lights red and beeps if healthcare workers have not sanitized their hands before approaching a patient's bed. Green indicates clean hands.
The system also records when the healthcare professionals use soap or sanitizer from a monitored dispenser.
