We designed this hand hygiene audit checklist template so you can have a methodical approach for evaluating compliance with hygiene protocols in your healthcare facility. The template allows you to track both opportunities and actions, measure compliance rates across different staff categories, and document specific recommendations for improvement.
For example, if you face increasing infection rates on a hospital unit, you can use this tool to pinpoint exactly where breakdowns in hand hygiene are occurring. The World Health Organization reports that proper hand hygiene improvement initiatives can prevent as much as 50% of avoidable healthcare-associated infections and deliver significant cost savings.
