Focus on Patient and Family Centered Care Revitalizes Hand Hygiene Campaign

Throughout each of the five WellStar hospitals, and on screen savers throughout the System, a new series of Clean Hands = Better Health posters showcases the images of several ordinary people in clinical settings, wearing their normal work or hobby attire. These posters are a reminder of the lives our patients leave behind when they come to us for care.

As part of our patient and family centered care focus, it is our goal to help our patients return to their normal lives as quickly as possible, and we know that eliminating hospital-acquired infections through hand hygiene compliance helps us to achieve this goal.
During the course of the next year, Clean Hands = Better Health posters and screen savers will be rotated to feature a total of 15 different individuals.

In addition, bi-lingual Clean Hands = Better Health signage also is being installed at each hospital above wall-mounted foam sanitizer units in heavily-trafficked areas, above nursing unit hallway sinks and on freestanding foam sanitizer units at all hospital entrances.

Thank you for helping restore our patients to health by following, and reminding others to follow good hand hygiene practices.
