Report of a Multimodal Strategy for Improvement of Hand Hygiene Compliance in a Latin American Hospital. How Far From Excellence?

Conclusions A multimodal strategy in a Latin American setting showed an increase in HH compliance over 10 years of follow-up that should nonetheless be improved. An association between HH compliance and surgical site infection rates was noticed, but this did not occur with other healthcare-associated infections; this underscores the need for a comprehensive bundled approach in their prevention.
