Nosocomial Infection Control
Fall 2007 Pediatric Health Center of the Future
Problem Statement Throughout hospitals in the
US, 2 million people acquire infections not
related to their original condition. These
nosocomial infections are often caused by poor
hand washing practices. In fact, hand washing
compliance rates are typically as low as 15-35
as inconvenient sink locations and forgetfulness
create barriers to proper hand washing behavior.
