Health service organisations rely on qualified and skilled auditors to undertake direct observational auditing to collect valid and reliable hand hygiene data.
Points to consider when selecting Hand Hygiene Auditors include:
- Capacity to complete the NHHI auditor training and conduct audits
- Acknowledgement and understanding of the safety and privacy concerns of patients and healthcare workers
- Ability to provide immediate feedback to healthcare workers for good hand hygiene practices and educate them on correct hand hygiene practices
- Recruiting from a range of health professions and clinical areas to promote widespread acceptance, ownership, and participation in activities to improve hand hygiene.
