- Abstract
The article reports on research on hand hygiene in hospitals which was conducted at a south Florida university oncology hospital. The research found that hand hygiene using soap and alcohol-based sanitizers is the most effective way to decrease the risk of health care-associated infections, that hand hygiene compliance by health care providers is often less than optimal and that the infections continue to affect millions of patients.
