Adherence with hand hygiene: does number of sinks matter?

Michael O Vernon1, Wiliam E Trick, Sharon F Welbel, Brian J Peterson, Robert A Weinstein.   

Abstract

We observed adherence with hand hygiene in 14 units at 4 hospitals with varying sink-to-bed ratios (range, 1:1 to 1:6). Adherence was less than 50% in all units and there was no significant trend toward improved hand hygiene with increased sink-to-bed ratios.
