[Infection control training for physicians to improve hand hygiene on surgical rounds : The more the better?]

DISCUSSION AND PROSPECTS: Training concerning hand hygiene has to be improved to increase the prevention of infections. Tailored interventions with a high amount of practical relevance are suited to increase the compliance with preventive procedures (e.g. hand hygiene compliance). To improve the infection prevention for physicians in the long term, a firm knowledge about the indications for hand hygiene procedures is needed. This can be ensured by infection control training with a practical focus, small memory aids and permanent support from infection prevention professionals.
