BioVigil Hand Hygiene Success Story:
RML Specialty Hospital

At RML Specialty Hospital, one of the largest ventilator weaning hospitals in the U.S., patient safety is a top priority. To enhance their hand hygiene compliance and reduce hospital acquired infections (HAIs), RML partnered with BioVigil in 2020 to implement our electronic hand hygiene monitoring system.

Since then, RML has seen a dramatic and consistent increase in compliance, while capturing over 350,000 hand hygiene opportunities per month. This has significantly reduced cross-contamination and HAIs, improving both patient care and safety. Through the use of BioVigil, RML visibility demonstrates their commitment to infection prevention, something they highlight on tours with prospective patients and family members.
