A quantitative approach to defining "high-touch" surfaces in hospitals.

Kirk Huslage¹, William A Rutala, Emily Sickbert-Bennett, David J Weber.

Abstract

Fifty interactions between healthcare workers and patients were observed to obtain a quantifiable definition of "high-touch" (ie, frequently touched) surfaces based on frequency of contact. Five surfaces were defined as high-touch surfaces: the bed rails, the bed surface, the supply cart, the over-bed table, and the intravenous pump.
