1. A system for tracking and improving hand hygiene comprising:
a hand hygiene dispenser station operatively connected to a hand hygiene product dispenser for dispensing a hand hygiene product, the hand hygiene dispenser station comprising:
at least one sensor for detecting when an action to receive the hand hygiene product is performed by the hand hygiene product dispenser, the at least one sensor operatively coupled to at least one processor; and
a wirelessly adjustable proximity sensor for determining when an object is within a predetermined distance from the hand hygiene product dispenser, the proximity sensor operatively connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is operatively configured to:
receive from a geographically remote data collection server, environmental programming information including alert parameters;
receive, from the proximity sensor, a proximity indication that a particular object is within the predetermined distance;
upon receiving the proximity indication, determine that the at least one sensor did not detect the action to receive the hand hygiene product within a predetermined time period;
determine that at least one alert parameter included in the environmental programming information received from the geographically remote data collection server is met; and
activate an alert at least partially based upon: a) the determination that the at least one sensor did not detect the action to receive the hand hygiene product within the predetermined time period, and b) the determination that at least one alert parameter included in the environmental programming information received from the geographically remote data collection server is met based on a current operating environment of the hand hygiene dispenser station.
