A 5 STEP program implemented in 3 STAGES The Hands-On® system delivers greater compliance in hand hygiene behavior in health care environments.  It was developed to establish and achieve standards of performance consistent with reducing the risk for Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI).  The system generates the behaviors needed, namely best practice hand hygiene interventions, that translate into better management control, better staff compliance and; most importantly, safer employees, safer environments and safer patients.
