Cost implications of successful hand hygiene promotion.

Didier Pittet1, Hugo Sax, Stéphane Hugonnet, Stephan Harbarth.   

Abstract

We evaluated the costs associated with a sustained and successful campaign for hand hygiene promotion that emphasized alcohol-based handrubs. The total cost of the hand hygiene promotion corresponded to less than 1% of the costs associated with nosocomial infections. Successful hand hygiene promotion is probably cost-saving.
