Medline Announces Nationwide Launch of Hand Hygiene Compliance Program for Hospital and Healthcare Facilities
Date:6/17/2008

ctive practice, hand hygiene compliance among healthcare workers is poor, with the World Health Organization reporting an average compliance rate of 40 percent. Skin irritation and dryness caused by frequent hand washing with soap and water, as well as inadequate understanding of hand hygiene guidelines or protocols, are the most often cited reasons for noncompliance. Medline's comprehensive HHCP addresses these issues by combining its best-in-class products for improving skin condition and clinician-reviewed education to improve hand hygiene compliance while dramatically improving the skin condition of healthcare workers.

About the HHCP Product Bundle

The regular use of products that help prevent skin irritation appreciably increases compliance to hand hygiene standards, which in turn contributes to lowering the nosocomial infection rate. All three Medline products in the HHCP product bundle are clinically proven to nourish dry skin:

-- Sterillium Comfort Gel(TM) -- This hand antiseptic has moisturizing

technology, yet still delivers an alcohol level of 85 percent. In

addition, it significantly increases skin hydration after only one week

of usage compared to untreated skin.

-- Medline Remedy(TM) Products -- These moisturizers, cleansers,

protectants and antifungals all contain Olivamine(R), a patented blend

of ingredients that deliver essential nutrients necessary for optimal

skin health, including amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants and MSM.

-- AloeTouch(R) Exam Gloves -- Available in latex, vinyl, and nitrile,

this glove has a special polymer inner coating that softens skin with

pure freeze-dried aloe vera while providing protection against

bloodborne pathogens.

About the Educational Program

In addition to the product bundle, the HHCP includes an intensive educational module developed by an expert panel of infection control prof
