Education

Education builds the knowledge and skills needed to perform hand hygiene effectively. These resources reinforce why hand hygiene matters, when hands should be cleaned and how to use the proper method and technique. They cover the Four Moments of Hand Hygiene, glove use, hand care and common barriers to effective practice. Organizations can use the presentations, posters, fact sheets and practical activities in orientation, ongoing education, team discussions and communications for health care workers, patients, residents and visitors.
