One of the most severe and avoidable threats to patient safety at any health care facility is health care-associated infections (HAIs), with 2 million patients contracting HAIs. Simple sanitization and hand hygiene practices can go a long way in helping reduce the spread of HAIs. This would make facilities safer for patients and help lower the staggering impact of these infections, which cost hospitals $28.4 – 33.8 billion annually*. Hand hygiene compliance is vital to the fight against infection.  

Join this webinar to learn the impacts of HAIs and how an automated hand hygiene solution can benefit patients and hospitals. Joan Ivaska, executive director of infection prevention at Banner Health shares the role hand hygiene plays within their infection prevention plan.
