The Center for Transforming Healthcare launched a Targeted Solutions Tool for hand hygiene projects in Sept. 2010. Since then, more than 40,000 hand hygiene observations have been entered into the tool, and the tools and videos offered through the tool have been downloaded more than 5,300 times.
Recently, the Center has made several additions to the tool, including the addition of a “data wizard,” which allows users to combine data for multiple hand hygiene projects across units.
