ABSTRACT:
A desirably sanitary environment such as a hospital will have hand hygiene stations dispersed in some of the patient rooms, hallways, common areas, staff bathrooms and the like. Workers entering and exiting these rooms and areas should comply with proper hand hygiene protocols as they move from contact with one patient to another. A system, method and implementation are provided for increasing the likelihood of proper hand hygiene protocols. Identifying credentials unique to each worker, sensors tracking the room entry and exit activities of each credential, electronic hand hygiene substance dispensers responsive to the credentials and a computerized network are combined to count completed hand hygiene protocol cycles to the credit of each credential for use in a compliance awards program to encourage proper hand hygiene. Each credential may include green, yellow and red LED's to alert as to “hands clean,” please sanitize” and “hands dirty” conditions.
