Infection prevention continues to be at the forefront of health care.
Improvements in infection control and treatment strategies have led to
significant decreases in communicable illnesses, such as seasonal flu,
c.difficile, and methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However,
several challenges to successful elimination of infection in the physician office
setting still remain, especially since physician practices are not governed by
the same guidelines as hospitals that are required to have Infection
Preventionists (IP) on staff to raise awareness and ensure compliance.
Our goal in publishing InControl is to support your efforts in working
toward maintaining the total health of your patients and staff by providing
you with the necessary tools to ensure your practice has what it needs to
prevent the spread of disease. Each quarterly publication outlines critical
aspects of infection prevention, as we help to promote better patient
outcomes in a health care facility. We hope you find the content to be a
comprehensive educational resource that helps you identify and reduce risk
of infection within your practice.
In this issue of InControl, we raise awareness of the importance of hand
hygiene — the single most critical measure to avoid the transmission of
disease in our communities. As part of this initiative, the Henry Schein
Cares Healthy Lifestyles, Healthy Communities Program works with
Community Health Centers in at-risk and underserved communities to
provide free health screening events to over 7,500 children and their
caregivers. Hand soaps and sanitizers are provided to patients to help
educate and demonstrate proper hand hygiene techniques which help stop
the spread of infection. To lend a hand in your community, or to learn more,
visit us at www.hscaresfoundation.org
Your opinion is very important to us!
Log on to www.henryschein.com/incontrol, take a brief survey, and as
a way to say “Thank You”, we will send you a FREE inControl Hand
Hygiene Kit* for your practice.
We appreciate your feedback, and will use it to evaluate changes and make
improvements to future InControl publications.
Cordially Yours,
The Henry Schein Medical Team

Guidelines &
Recommendations
When soap and water are not available,
xxxxxx
alcohol-based hand rubs (wipes, gels, or
foams)
should be applied. When using an
xxx
alcohol-based product, health care workers
xxx completely follow the manufacturer's
must
• xxxx
label
to ensure that the desired efficacy is
reached.
Alcohol-based
agents may be used
Source: xxx
in the following cases:
When hands are not visibly soiled or
contaminated with blood or body fluids
• Before direct contact with patients
• After direct contact with a patient’s skin
• After contact with bodily fluids or
excretions, mucous membranes, broken
skin or wound dressings
• When moving from a contaminated to a
clean body site
• After contact with an inanimate
environment (equipment or furniture near
patient)
• After removing gloves
• Emergency situations where sinks are not
available (EMS, Police, Fire Rescue) and
hands are visibly soiled
88
When using agents containing alcohol, such as
wipes, the entire surface of the hand must be
covered by the product and allowed to dry
prior to donning gloves. In order to maintain
adequate moisture in the hands, it may be
necessary to apply a health care-grade lotion,
especially during the winter season.
Selection of hand hygiene agents
Hand hygiene agents must be carefully
selected in order to ensure compliance,
efficacy, and safety for both the health care
worker and patient. Several factors must be
taken into consideration:
• Ease of use for health care workers
• Potential for dermal irritation and skin
reactions.
• Efficacy of the agent.
• Product availability and accessibility within
the health care facility
• Cost of the agent
• Drying time necessary after applying
the agent
• Staff support for the selected product.

Studies have demonstrated that proper hand hygiene can decrease the transmission of cold viruses and other
germs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) promote and encourage routine hand washing,
especially during cold and influenza season. Because soap and water are not always readily available, hand
sanitizers are a popular alternative routinely used by millions of individuals. These products are clearly
convenient, but users should keep in mind that they are only effective for infection prevention when used
properly and in sufficient quantity.

According to experts, without
a vaccine, the single most
important thing you can do
to prevent getting the flu is
to wash your hands.

The Solution to Pollution is Dilution.

showed that rates of proper
hand washing fell nearly
45% when spaces were

When it comes to hands,
fingernails and the surrounding
areas harbor the most

Global research indicates that improvements
in hand hygiene activities could potentially
reduce HAI rates by up to 50%.
Hand hygiene, a very simple action,

There are two layers of bacteria. The outer layer
found on your hands is termed “Transient Flora”.
This layer is potentially the most dangerous for
transmitting disease from one person to another.
Fortunately, it is easily eliminated by hand
washing. The deeper layer is called “Resident
Flora”. This bacteria, found in deeper layers
of skin cells, is more likely to be innocuous
bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis
and Corynebacteria spp. (diptheroids); and
is more resistant to washing.
CDC studies show that the number of
bacteria per square centimeter on the
human body are as follows:
Scalp: 1,000,000 | Forearm:10,000

Hands of Medical Personnel:
40,000 to 500,000

Who has it? A recent
study showed that
21% of the health care
workers in the ICU
had varying counts of
Staphylococcus aureus
on their hands.
Caught in the act (or lack of).
95% of the population says that
they wash their hands after using a
public toilet. However, when 8,000
people were monitored across five
large cities in the US, they found the
actual number to be more like 67%.
The Solution to Pollution is Dilution.
While soap may not kill all viruses,
thorough hand washing will
decrease the viral counts to a
point below the infectious threshold.

Guidelines &
Recommendations
The effectiveness of hand hygiene is
improved when: skin is intact, nails are
natural, short, and unvarnished; hands and
forearms are free of jewelry; and sleeves are
above the elbow. Health care staff having
direct contact with patients or a patient’s
environment should comply with the steps
outlined below:
• Bracelets, wrist watches, and rings with
stones or ridges are not to be worn when
providing clinical care. A single flat
ring/band may be worn but should not
interfere with effective hand hygiene
practice.
• Long sleeved clothing should be rolled
up above the elbow so as to not interfere
with effective hand hygiene compliance.
16
• Nails should be kept short and clean.
Nail polish should not be worn. Artificial
nails (gel or acrylic) are prohibited by any
health care worker with direct patient
contact.
• Any breached skin (cuts, dermatitis or
abrasion) should be covered with a
waterproof film dressing. Staff with
dermatitis should report evaluation as per
local procedures.

Did You Know....
• The cost to treat a health care-associated infection (HAI) can be as much as $36,000. If a patient hand-hygiene
program can prevent just one, it could pay for itself for an entire year.
• It is estimated that washing hands with soap and water could reduce diarrheal disease-associated deaths by up to 50%.
• Researchers estimate that if everyone routinely washed their hands, a million deaths a year could be prevented.
• Hand washing can reduce the risk of respiratory infections by 16%.
• Damp hands spread 1,000 times more germs than dry hands.
• Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of all infection prevention and control programs.

Guidelines &
Recommendations
Successfully Implementing Infection
Prevention and Control Strategies
Infection prevention and control (IPC)
programs that have achieved success in
reducing risks for health care-associated
infections have used a common approach
to implementation, including the following:
1. Team-driven, staff empowered activities
2. Commitment from administration
3. Involvement of practice leaders as
champions
4. Use of consistent and evidence-based
policies and procedures
5. Assurance that needed supplies are readily
available to facilitate adherence to
recommended practices
20
6. Requirements for education and
competency verification
7. Monitoring and measurement of practices
and outcomes via surveillance
8. Effective communication, including
feedback of surveillance findings to staff
9. Ongoing evaluation of interventions and
continuous improvement activity
10.Interventions hardwired into culture to
maintain gain
11.Celebration of success
Developing and implementing strategies to
reduce infection risks is a great challenge for
IPC programs. Bidirectional communication
with all health care providers will help the
infection prevention and control team to
achieve and sustain effective infection
prevention practices.

It has been found that the hands of medical personnel can have bacterial counts in the range of 3.9 x 104
to 4.6 x 106 per cm. Given the current state of health care, the government will desire to curb the infection rate
for economic purposes and the benefit of the patient. Perhaps the most cost-effective means to curb the rate of
infection is to evaluate and focus on the preoperative scrubbing techniques that we employ prior to entering
the operative theater suite.

Surgical Scrub Checklist
Here is a checklist to help guarantee processes are in place (or strategies for improvement) to ensure patient
safety from the time that patients enter a health care facility to the time they leave.
1. Provide ongoing education for all staff members including competencies. Education
can be undertaken in many different ways including live in-services, Webinars,
audio-conferences or online training. Health care Facility determined
competencies/assessments for clinical staff should include a skills checklist
addressing hand hygiene knowledge and practices. Education should include all
clinical staff and those providing direct patient care.
2. Provide staff with The World Health Organization's "My 5 Moments of Hand
Hygiene" which defines the key moments when health care workers should
perform hand hygiene. This includes the following:
• Before touching a patient
• Before Clean/aseptic procedures (such as anesthesia services)
• After body fluid exposure/risk
• After touching a patient
• After touching patient surroundings
3. Make hand hygiene easy by providing adequate opportunities for hand washing
and use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Sinks should be placed in strategic
23
locations and supplies such as soap and paper towels should be provided at all
times. Alcohol hand sanitizer products should be user friendly, available at all
times and strategically placed throughout the facility, particularly in clinical areas
and high-demand locations.
4. Introduce hand-hygiene monitoring programs. Tools for monitoring hand-hygiene
compliance are available in various forms and include the use of "secret
shoppers," i.e., a covert observation whereby no one but the person appointing
the observer and the observer him/herself knows who is conducting the
monitoring, or an overt observation whereby all staff members are aware of the
person conducting the observation.
5. Holding staff accountable by providing feedback from monitoring programs. Staff
should be informed of the findings from ongoing monitoring programs and should
be provided the opportunity to improve practice by providing resources,
educational opportunities, and one-on-one consultation.
