on MRSA, C. diff. and Hand Hygiene ComplianceGET THE UPPER HAND

Healthcare-Associated Infections

The traditional method of direct observation is proven to be flawed and unreliable for measuring hand hygiene, inflating compliance rates by 300%.1

According to the CDC, WHO and Ontario MOHLTC, real hand hygiene compliance lies at less than 50%2 in most hospitals.

The overall average direct cost of an HAI is up to $25,661.2

A lack of hand hygiene compliance by healthcare staff continues to be a significant contributor to the spread of pathogens, resulting in HAIs and affecting hospital reputation and the risk of financial implications.

It’s time to take action with the DebMed Electronic Hand Hygiene Compliance System.

Healthcare leaders are under pressure to drive quality improvement and increase economic efficiencies. They know Direct Observation is unreliable and are moving to Electronic Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring Systems.

But, not all electronic monitoring systems are created equal:

Other systems are not clinically proven to accurately measure the 4 Moments for Hand Hygiene in real time

Few have clinical evidence

Some can be costly to implement & maintain

1 out of every 9 patients admitted to hospital will contract an HAI.2

Delivering Clinically Proven Outcomes

In a breakthrough MRSA reduction study published in the American Journal of Infection Control, the DebMed System:

• Increased hand hygiene compliance rates by 25.5%3*

• Decreased hospital onset MRSA HAI rates by 42%3*

• Resulted in the avoidance of approximately $434,000 in total costs of care

DebMed has additional clinical evidence demonstrating:

• Reduction in HAI’s (MRSA and C.diff) by improving hand hygiene compliance 4,5

• Significant cost savings as a result of improving compliance and reducing HAIs5

A year-long study showed the DebMed System produced results nearly identical to 24-hour video monitoring.

• The system is as accurate as 24/7/365 video monitoring6

• Direct observation presented highly inflated compliance rates over the same period

+DebMed System was as accurate as 24/7 video monitoring.

DebMed Compliance System

* Statistically significant

Compliance rates with Direct Observation were overstated by almost 50% at study end

Scientifically validated to prove the system accurately benchmarks the number of hand hygiene opportunities

What it Does:

• Captures 100% of actual hand hygiene events 24/7/365

• Hand hygiene event data is transmitted by the dispenser, and true compliance rates are generated

• Event data is compared to the number of hand hygiene opportunities that should have occurred based on the 4 Moments for Hand Hygiene to determine your compliance rate

• Reports can be accessed securely online or automatically sent to your inbox

Why it Works:

• Actionable reporting of compliance performance available in real time

• Dashboard reports allow for comprehensive staff engagement, meaningful huddle meetings and lasting culture change

• No badges to wear that can interfere with work flow

DISPENSERAll monitored soap and

sanitizer dispensers send a signal to a dedicated

server

DASHBOARD Your dashboard is easily and quickly accessed to allow for real time staff

engagement

DEBMED SERVER Our software converts usage data into compliance reports

and updates continuously
