ABSTRACT:
A method of measuring hand hygiene compliance includes the steps of maintaining a computer database, and determining whether any person entered a first area independent of whether the any person includes a sensor. The method also includes the steps of determining whether the any person left the first area and entered a second area, and determining whether the any person performed hand hygiene before leaving the first area. Moreover, the method includes the step of sending information associated with whether the any person performed hand hygiene before leaving the first area to the computer database.
