Hand hygiene after touching a patient's surroundings: the opportunities most commonly missed

2013
Journal of Hospital Infection
Journal Article
Issue 1
Volume 84
Pages 27-31
Author(s): FitzGerald, G., Moore, G., Wilson, A. P. R.
When a healthcare worker (HCW) is involved in patient care, there is every possibility of their hands getting contaminated. Unless adequate hand hygiene is carried out between one patient and the next, there is a likelihood of spread of pathogens. Microbes can also be transmitted to different surfaces a HCW may touch.
