Matching Risk With Regimen

The multi-tasker’s handwash

Handsinks are plentiful in healthcare facilities. They seem like they are everywhere until you need one and you:

1. don’t want to leave the patient’s bedside.
2. want to complete a conversation at the nurse’s station.
3. are pushing a wheelchair and don’t want to leave the patient’s side.
4. are on a patio without a handsink.
5. are walking down the corridor without time to duck into a restroom.
6. want to remain by the phone for an important call.
7. are helping out a patient in rehab.

… want to do some deeper cleaning than hand-sanitizers alone can deliver.

A RubScrub™ station simply consists of a hand-sanitizer dispenser and a box of quality paper towels.

Apply a double or triple dose of hand sanitizer. Rub vigorously for 20 seconds. Aggressively wipe dry.

For even greater peace-of-mind, reapply hand-sanitizer following label instructions. This double protocol is known as the SaniTwice® method.

Being a busy multi-tasking caregiver is no excuse for care-less hand hygiene. Attached are 8 different regimens ready to address specific healthcare situations.
