Key Point Summary

The influence of spatial configuration on the frequency of use of hand sanitizing stations in health care environments

This 2017 study looks at how the location of hand sanitizing stations can affect the likelihood that staff and visitors will use them. The researchers used space syntax and simulation to better understand the link between the design of space and hand-hygiene. Results show the importance of strategically locating these stations so that they are highly visible and accessible. Find more details in the full KPS in the Knowledge Repository!
