Vanderbilt University Medical Center physicians, nurses and IT specialists have collaborated to create a wireless software application to more efficiently document and report hand hygiene compliance.
This collaboration led to the creation of a mobile application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices.

When poor individual compliance is observed, trained observers counsel their colleagues on proper hand hygiene.
