Meet and maintain compliance with a trusted electronic hand hygiene monitoring system
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. Optional reminders can be enabled before marking the opportunity as missed.
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. 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.
Eliminate time spent doing 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 events 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.

Clinical-Grade Locating performance has never been so easy
CenTrak's thin and lightweight RTLS staff badges do not require line-of-sight to the hand hygiene sensor in order to accurately record hand hygiene compliance. If enabled, a gentle reminder from the badge will occur when a hand hygiene opportunity is missed to help break the chain of infection. Embedded sensor options are available as well as universal sensors that mount to or under various dispensers, canisters, pumps, or sinks.
The staff badge is also used for: -

Location Technology
![Use Case Tab5 HHC3x]()
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.
