Hand Hygiene Solution
The most accurate, easy-to-use and cost effective way to monitor compliance.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain one of the most persistent challenges in healthcare. On any given day, one in 31 hospital patients develops at least one HAI, increasing clinical risk, extending hospital stays and placing additional strain on care teams.
While the importance of hand hygiene is well understood, consistent compliance across busy clinical environments remains difficult to achieve. The challenge is not awareness. It is visibility.
Without reliable, objective insight into hand hygiene behavior, infection prevention efforts are difficult to measure, improve and sustain over time. This is where real-time, data-driven monitoring becomes essential.

HID’s hand hygiene solution helps healthcare organizations improve compliance, reduce infection risk and strengthen patient safety.
Accurate
Capture hand hygiene events with precision, including bed-zone proximity and “in and out” compliance aligned to established standards.
Easy to Use

Cost Effective
Automate compliance monitoring at a cost comparable to manual observation, with a single fee covering hardware, software, badges and services.
Improve Compliance. Reduce Risk. Strengthen Accountability.
HID’s hand hygiene solution provides real-time visibility into compliance at the room and individual level, helping healthcare organizations move from manual observation to consistent, measurable improvement.

Enabling The WHO Fives Moments of Hand Hygiene
Healthcare organizations are increasingly using Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) to support compliance with the WHO's Your 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene, which define the key moments when healthcare workers should perform hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infection.
In fast-paced clinical environments, manual observation can be inconsistent and difficult to scale. Common challenges include:
- Distributed workflows across rooms and departments
- Inconsistent observation and reporting
- Labor-intensive auditing processes
RTLS-based monitoring addresses these challenges by using discreet sensors and staff badges to automatically detect hand hygiene opportunities and events without disrupting workflows.
HID’s hand hygiene solution enables healthcare organizations to measure, monitor and improve compliance with confidence.
Statistically Speaking
5% of all hospital admissions result in a HAI, which leads to:
Hand hygiene compliance can prevent up to 50% of avoidable HAIs and save thousands of lives every year.
