Hand hygiene improvement of individual healthcare workers: results of the multicentre PROHIBIT study

ConclusionsBoth the proportion of improving HCWs and their median individual improvement differed substantially among ICUs but correlated with the ICUs ’ overall HH improvement. With comparable overall means the range in individual HH varied considerably between some hospitals, implying different transmission risks. Greater insight into improvement dynamics might help to design more effective HH interventions in the future.
