Abstract:
1. A hand hygiene rate calculation and hand hygiene performance feedback system comprising a computer network with an application software administration center, and application software operative on the computer network which allows an application software user to direct the application software to interface with and query data or data-bases at sites or locations on the network where raw hygiene data is produced or stored, and with an application software user interface which enables the application software user to enter or choose a desired hand hygiene rate metric from a list of standard metrics, and to also input a hand hygiene rate denominator value such that execution of the application software will cause mathematical operations to be performed upon raw hygiene data from locations queried as selected by the applications software user, and utilizing the hand hygiene rate metric selected by the user and the hand hygiene rate denominator value input by the applications software user, the system will output processed data in the form of hand hygiene performance data or hand hygiene rate data.
