Abstract
Hand hygiene is an essential component of infection prevention in the health care setting. Despite diligent efforts, clinicians can be susceptible to hand hygiene misses in fast-paced, complex environments such as the operating room due to systemic factors such as the physical environment, workflow, and sporadic interactions with other personnel. Through the use of human factors and resilience engineering concepts, work-as-done were studied to identify barriers to hand hygiene compliance in the operating rooms of a pediatric hospital in an urban area. The saliency, effort, expectancy, value model was applied to design a multifaceted intervention that resulted in a sustained 95% hand hygiene compliance.
