Adoption of alcohol-based handrub by United States hospitals: a national survey.

Lona Mody¹, Sanjay Saint, Samuel R Kaufman, Christine Kowalski, Sarah L Krein.

Abstract

The extent to which the use of alcohol-based handrub for hand hygiene has been adopted by US hospitals is unknown. A survey of infection control coordinators (response rate, 516 [72%] of 719) revealed that most hospitals (436 [84%] of 516) have adopted alcohol-based handrub. Leadership support and staff receptivity play a significant role in its adoption.
