One in Five US Health Facilities Doesn’t Put Hand Sanitizer Everywhere Needed to Prevent Infections, Study from WHO and Columbia Nursing Finds




Approximately one in five U.S. health facilities doesn’t make alcohol-based hand sanitizer available at every point of care, missing a critical opportunity to prevent health care-associated infections, according to new research from Columbia University School of Nursing and the World Health Organization (WHO) published in the American Journal of Infection Control. The study, which examined compliance with WHO hand hygiene guidelines in the U.S., also found that only about half of the hospitals, ambulatory care, and long-term care facilities had set aside funds in their budgets for hand hygiene training.
