Easily Achieve Leapfrog Group’s Hand Hygiene Monitoring Standard
The Leapfrog Group’s hand hygiene monitoring standard (https://www.leapfroggroup.org/survey-materials/survey-and-cpoe-materials) requires at least 200 observations per unit per month. This equals 2,400 observations in every unit per year. Not to mention interventions and compliance rate calculations! Most hospitals tasked with manual audits are not able to achieve this requirement and find that after installing BioVigil, their providers can focus on other priorities.
Using BioVigil, your facility can easily achieve this standard as we cost-effectively capture over 67,000 observations per unit per month (+800,000 a unit per year) and automatically calculate compliance while producing meaningful Healthcare Acquired Infection (HAI) reduction outcomes.
BioVigil reduces HAIs by up to 83%
In partnership with our hospital/health system clients, who are focused on providing their patients and staff with the safest environment possible, we’ve seen the following Leapfrog Grade Improvements after BioVigil was installed:
- Increased Leapfrog grade at least 1 full letter: 28.5%
- Increased their Leapfrog grade by 2 full letters: 14%
- Maintained a Leapfrog grade of A: 43%
- Maintained their current grade: 28.5%
- Reduced a letter grade: 0
Example of How Hand Hygiene Observations Increase: A Michigan 200-bed hospital with 8-units usually conducts 1,000 -2,000 direct observations per year. To meet Leapfrog’s monitoring standard, this hospital needs 19,200 observations per year. Using BioVigil, the hospital captures 6.5 million observations per year, clearly passing the standard with ease.
Using BioVigil saves hospitals time and money, specifically, one Full Time Employee for every 250 beds, while exponentially increasing the amount and accuracy of hand hygiene compliance data with action-oriented analytics. Use our calculator below to discover your hospital’s potential.
