- Abstract
- Optimal hand hygiene practices reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections, especially in high-risk settings of immunocompromised patients. In 2020, face-to-face learning was disallowed in the environment of coronavirus disease 2019 transmission. We developed a revised learning program for hand hygiene auditors for our cancer care facility. The learning package resulted in a 2-fold increase in the number of participants, with effective promotion by managers, due in part to reduced time and resources for training, and flexibility for staff.
