C361 Evidence Base Practice Assessment Hand Hygiene
Impact of the Problem on the Patient
Many patients get admitted into the hospital to entrust that they will be well taken care of,
to get better but sometimes through the run around of it all someone is able to drop the ball with
something that has been extensively taught to all nurses. Hand hygiene is still a major problem in
the health care system and one of the biggest reasons of hospital acquired infections and still to
this day should continue to be enforced.
Impact of the Problem on the Organization
Acquired hospitalized infections can impact an organization because most insurance that
investigate will not cover for that treatment and hospitals will lose money. When hospitals lose
money, the services will eventually increase to make up the deficit.

Evidence Based Practice Question
Among hospitalized patients, does hand hygiene practice compared to not practicing hand
hygiene lead to a reduction in hospital acquired infections?
, Research Article
Background Introduction
According to the American Journal of Infection control there is about 721,800 acquired
infections that are acquired each year that has amounted to $10 billion cost to the hospitals. With
this statistic some hospitals have adopted an electronic monitoring system.
(Durant;Willis;Duvall.2020).
Methodology
In New York, this system was adopted and used in acute care hospital settings. The
Methods that were use were through surveys and interviews as well as analysis of trends. Along
with knowing infection trends after it was implemented.
Level of Evidence
According to the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model, this research article level of
evidence is III and the evidence was seen when the soap and hand dispensers in rooms and
doorways were able to relate to interaction of the employee’s tags. This would be able to monitor
personnel that went in and used the hand washing devises and then be able to see the outcome of
the number of patients that were discharged infection free.
Data Analysis
This data was analyzed using thematic analysis by way of interview and surveys that
were taken from employees at the facilities. This article is also a descriptive statistic due to the
data that was obtained and the rates that were accounted for there were of the percentage of
Medicare and Medicaid patient which are a big attribute to the health care system because of the
strict guidelines that services will not be paid if patient acquired an infection. When this system
was implemented compliance went up to about 95% at some points.
