HANDY Hand Sanitizing Solutions use UV-C lighting to sanitize hands and small objects, helping prevent the spread of germs and viruses wherever people gather.
It's your "3rd Hand"! Read the research which characterizes the significant risk your cellphone poses to public health and what the authors recommend you do to mitigate that risk. https://t.co/Miu4CFckXJ #infectionprevention#foodborneillness#HAI#handhygiene#foodsafety
Hmmm. Is "empathy" the golden ticket to improved HH? Not enough business risk (motivation) in HC (vs Food). If people were to lose their jobs for non-compliance? Hospital shut down like Abbott? Then, maybe. Try something different! https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #handhygiene#HAI#cdiff

Surprised that AR increased? If 50% of HCW's do not practice proper HH and the protocols don't change - MY MONEY IS ON MDRO's! Time to try something different - UVC hand sanitization. https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #MDRO#HAI#infectionprevention#infectioncontrol#CDC#handhygiene
@SHEA_Epi Hmmm. Wondering if CDC guidance will have any effect in LTCF vs hospitals where HH compliance is persistently, embarrassingly low. Until there are consequences for poor IP like those for Food Processors (Abbott), my money is on MDRO's. #infectionprevention#HAI#handhygiene
@SafetyASAP Don't believe people! Of course they say they'll wash their hands. Currently 34% wash hands in restroom. Of those, ONLY 5% do it correctly. It's not the restroom - it's the tools! Maybe try something different for a change. UVC Hand Sanitizers https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #handhygiene
@SharedHealthMB HCW's aren't pillars of hand hygiene compliance (no improvement in pandemic). HH is necessary, but nothing is done to protocols to improve behavior. Maybe try a new tool for a change - UVC hand sanitizers https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #handhygiene#infectionprevention#infectioncontrol
Study shows NO improvement in hand hygiene during pandemic. HCW's! Just keep doing the same thing over & over again. OR maybe try something new for a change? UVC hand sanitization. Safe & effective. https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #handhygiene#HAI#infectionprevention#infectioncontrol
@EvonneTCurran @microlabdoc @mjb302@DRTomlinsonEP If Hospitals suffered the same consequences from inadequate safety protocols as Food Industry (facility closures), maybe there would be improvement in compliance. Until then, just keep doing what you are doing & expect different results. https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #HAI#handhygiene
@jhieditor UVC is also safe and effective as a hand sanitizer. Maybe try a new tool to improve persistently low hand hygiene compliance? Or...are you simply happy with the current state of compliance? https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #HAI#infectioncontol#handhygiene#AMR#cdiff
An inanimate source of infection not mentioned in this paper = cellphones. Research confirms cellphones are "3rd Hands"; require frequent sanitization, and recommends UVC. HANDY UV-C Sanitizers - good for hands, good for cellphones. #infectioncontrol#HAI https://t.co/ajHptydXV2

#foodborneillness issues at @Starbucks. Chicken & Egg Sandwiches RECALLED! After multiple reports of food poisoning, Starbucks wrote to employees, “Do not donate, sell or allow anyone to eat any of this product.” #handhygiene#infectioncontrol#foodsafety https://t.co/xVNjRXKrjH
Salmonella everywhere! High end, Belgian chocolate producer is not immune. HANDY UV-C Hand Sanitizers destroy Salmonella and other business-killing bugs. https://t.co/6T6kZghtZa https://t.co/zWp6zgL2ir #salmonella#foodborneillness#handhygiene#infectionprevention
If Healthcare faced the same BUSINESS RISK from pathogen outbreaks as Food Producers who are forced close facilities (Abbott) or to lose 1/2 their market cap (Chipotle), then maybe you might see an increase in hand hygiene compliance. #infectionprevention#HAI#handhygiene#APIC
