Improved hand hygiene monitoring

摘要

BioVigil, of the US, has released the second generation of its hand hygiene monitoring system, which enables hospitals to increase hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers. The new system incorporates badge technology and related sensors to verify the use of hand sanitiser in every patient's room, and records compliance data in a secure database.rn"Our second-generation system solves the accuracy problems that are inherent in RF-based sensors," said Brian Sheahan, BioVigil's chief executive. "We know with 100% accuracy when a healthcare worker enters and exits a location."
