CHICAGO HOSPITAL STUDIES HAND HYGIENE COMPLIANCE: Hand hygiene among University of Chicago Medical Center workers improved early in the pandemic before dropping to pre-COVID levels after just four months, according to a new study in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Researchers examined hand hygiene compliance in the Hyde Park hospital by day, week and month from September 2019 through August 2020, during which time UCMC admitted 1,159 COVID-positive patients. They also looked specifically at compliance among the hospital’s temporary COVID units.
Hand hygiene compliance reached a weekly peak of 88 percent across all units and 98 percent across COVID units during the week of March 29, 2020, the study shows. Meanwhile, compliance declined across all units to a daily low of 51 percent on August 15, and a weekly low of 55 percent that same week.
