ICCS Founder Phenelle Segal, RN, CIC, discusses hand hygiene in the September issue of ASC Focus, the official magazine of the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association.

The column is titled "Splash, Soap, Rinse, Dry: How to assess hand hygiene and stay compliant."

As the column notes, despite years of hard work to pro­mote and attain hand hygiene com­pliance in the health care setting, the industry continues to struggle to achieve goals that are set by external agencies and within the facilities themselves.

In addition to providing insight for the column, Phenelle also offers seven tips for hand hygiene compliance in an accompanying sidebar.
