Safe Healthcare Blog: What You Should Know about Hand Hygiene

Clean hands can protect patients and healthcare providers from dangerous and deadly infections, but studies show that healthcare providers do not practice hand hygiene every time they should. CDC's new Clean Hands Count campaign answers common questions CDC receives related to hand hygiene, from technique to caring for patients with C. difficile. 

Clean Hands Count Campaign materials are now available for order. Visit CDC-INFO on Demand (http://wwwn.cdc.gov/pubs/CDCInfoOnDemand.aspx?ProgramID=31) to order free printed copies.
