Providers are not the only ones in the healthcare setting who should follow hand hygiene guidelines — patients should as well. PDI has released its Patient Hand Hygiene Education Video, intended to help its customers educate patients on proper hand hygiene.
The video uses narration and graphics to explain how, when and why patients should wash their hands during their healthcare experience. It is also designed to empower patients to speak up about preventing infections, according to a news release.
"Patient hand hygiene is extremely important and often overlooked as an opportunity for meaningful engagement in infection prevention for all hospitalized patients — particularly those who are bedbound," John Dabney, an associate product manager with PDI, said in the release.
