Abstract:
In combination a group compliance system for monitoring hand-hygiene compliance of a plurality of persons using a plurality of hand cleaning fluid dispensers in facilities together with a personal compliance system for monitoring hand-hygiene compliance of an individual person of the dispensers within the facilities, however, with the individual person having control as to the extent that any data regarding their identity and hygiene events are disclosed to others.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of monitoring the use of a plurality of hand cleaning fluid dispensers in a facility frequented by a number of persons, wherein:\n each of the dispensers is located at a location in the facility spaced relative the location of other of the dispensers and, when activated by a person proximate each respective dispenser, each dispenser dispenses a fluid onto the person's hand suitably positioned relative the dispenser, the method comprising: providing a group compliance system comprising a first computer and a first communications network providing communication between each of the dispensers and the first computer, on the dispensing of the fluid by each of the dispensers, communicating data from each of the dispensers regarding the dispensing of fluid by each of the dispensers to the first computer via the first communications network; defining group data to include the data from each of the dispensers regarding the dispensing of the fluid by the dispensers communicated to the first computer; monitoring with the first computer the group data and calculating group compliance data representing the dispensing of fluid by the dispensers based on the group data, providing a personal compliance system comprising a personal computing device carried by one person and a second communication network providing communication between each of the dispensers, the second computer and the personal computing device, determining when any one of the dispensers is a proximate dispenser by being sufficiently close to the personal computing device that the one person carrying the personal computing device can have fluid from that respective dispenser dispensed onto a hand of the one person, on the dispensing of the fluid by each of the dispensers while each comprises the proximate dispenser, communicating data from the proximate dispenser regarding the dispensing by the proximate dispenser to the personal compliance system, defining personal data to include the data from the proximate dispenser regarding the dispensing by the proximate dispenser, and communicating the personal data to the personal compliance system; monitoring with the personal compliance system the personal data and calculating personal compliance data representing the dispensing of fluid by the dispensers based on the personal data, designating as private data the personal data and data derived therefrom including the personal compliance data; preventing communication from the personal compliance system other than to the one person of the private data unless authorized by the one person, communicating from the personal compliance system to the one person of the personal compliance data or data derived therefrom to the one person.
