Our hospital has not participated in Leapfrog for several years but is actively exploring reengaging. One major barrier for participation currently is having a robust hand hygiene program. For those who currently participate, how have your institutions approached the hand hygiene requirement? How many of you are leveraging technology vs personnel for hand hygiene observations? What features of your hand hygiene programs make them effective? Thank you for your insights!
