Reduce HAIs by 40+% and save $1M+ per year with electronic hand hygiene compliance for healthcare
The hand hygiene compliance sensor detects when an RTLS staff badge is nearby and if the individual has activated the dispenser or hand washing station according to the facility's customized protocols. Compliance data can be viewed at the hospital-, departmental-, role-, or individual-level, allowing healthcare facilities to audit hand hygiene processes and facilitate workflow enhancements.
Still using the secret shopper method?
Everything in healthcare is being digitalized, so why keep ancient hand hygiene protocols like the secret shopper method in place? Direct Observation is far too labor-intensive, expensive, and typically only accounts for less than 5% of all hand hygiene events. For example, a 200-bed hospital with 10 units must conduct 2,000 audits monthly to meet Joint Commission requirements, resulting in nearly $79,000 annually for manual audits. The most significant disadvantage is the potential to influence the behavior of those who know they are being observed (Hawthorne Effect), which leads to grossly inflated hand hygiene compliance rates.
Digitalize your hand hygiene compliance to eliminate time spent on manual data entry and building compliance reports
Stay on top of The Joint Commission and The Leapfrog Group requirements by switching to an electronic monitoring system. Data from automated systems capture 100% of hand hygiene compliance and are not subject to human error or reactive bias - showcasing true compliance rates and providing actionable insights into where improvement and further education may be needed.
Staff are more aware of their performance and strive to improve adherence.

Non-disruptive technology and guided change management to prevent HAIs
When it comes to hand hygiene compliance, hand-washing protocols alone aren't enough. Enhance patient safety with CenTrak's electronic hand hygiene compliance monitoring system coupled with clinical consulting services that drive meaningful change.
Our clinicians work with Infection Preventionists and hospital leadership to mitigate risk and hardwire hand hygiene best practice into your clinical workflows.
CenTrak’s Clinical-Grade Locating™ accurately determines if a healthcare worker washed their hands upon entering and exiting a patient's room.
The same light-weight staff badge used to record hand hygiene compliance can also be used to support contact tracing, staff duress, and nurse call automation.
Tech that's proven to be safe and effective, designed to operate in a healthcare environment and avoids device or system interference issues. FCC, IC, and CE certified.

Location Technology
![Safety - Gen2IR]()
Clinical-grade locating offers the accuracy needed for hand hygiene monitoring
Battery-powered Monitors and Virtual Walls are easily installed in patient care areas without the need to close rooms or deploy special infection prevention measures. To enable room and sub-room/bay-level locating, CenTrak uses our patented second-generation infrared (Gen2IR). Gen2IR does not pass through walls and does not require line-of-sight for communication. Our Gen2IR devices transmit a unique location ID, which is received by any tag in that location. The tag sends the location ID via radio frequency to the CenTrak Server, where it is then streamed to the software application for real-time compliance list views, dashboards, and analytics.
