Hand Hygiene Program Resources

In 2005, Novant Health of North Carolina initiated a system-wide hand hygiene program designed to save lives through the reduction of hospital-acquired infections. Three years later, Novant Health achieved 99 percent hand hygiene compliance and reduced MRSA infections by 63 percent and won the Joint Commission’s Codman Award for their efforts. Novant Health is making its hand hygiene resources available free of charge to other organizations. For more information, click here.
