Recent advances in technology have improved
hand hygiene compliance. Various dispensers have been developed based on wireless, infrared technology, radio frequency identification (RFID), and alcohol-sensing to detect hand hygiene compliance and, in some cases, actually remind health care workers to sanitize their hands before patient contact. New dispensers include: HyGreen that detects alcohol on hands, Proventix Systems nGage product24 (Proventix, Birmingham, AL)
and Versus Technology that use RFID25 (Versus
Technology, Inc, Traverse City, MI) to measure
compliance, and Sprixx21 a belt-worn dispenser
with an electronic counter. HyGreen monitors hand washing compliance by recording each hand washing event using a wireless, infrared, radio frequency identification and alcohol-sensing technology. Each time the health care worker dispenses alcohol from the wall-mounted unit, an infrared signal is sent to a badge worn by the health care worker. If the health care worker comes within seven feet of the HyGreen monitor and
has not sanitized their hands, the badge will vibrate,
reminding them to use the device. The Provenix
nGage system utilizes an RFID tag to monitor hand hygiene compliance. Each work receives feedback through an active communication display located above the dispenser.
