Qualis Health published a complimentary, online toolkit that provides hospitals with a low-cost approach for engaging patients and families in infection control during hospital stays.
The toolkit provides a step-by-step roadmap for implementing an innovative "hand hygiene huddle" with patients and their families early in a hospital stay. The toolkit also features linked resources, commentary from subject matter experts and videos of hospital teams describing their implementation successes.
Qualis Health is the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Idaho and Washington, under contract with CMS.
Download the toolkit for use in your own facility.
