Active Control
Group I: Control-then-InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
In each intensive care unit assigned to the Control-then-Intervention arm, all participants who regularly access the ICUs will wear the wristband while at work for 5 months. The functionality of the wristband will not be disclosed to the healthcare providers. Handwashing compliance data will be automatically collected, but data will not be shared with the healthcare providers or hospital management teams. After 5 months, a washout period of 2 months will be introduced to eliminate potential influences on healthcare providers' behaviors from the sensor system. Then, all healthcare providers will be educated on the functionalities of the CleanHands system with real time reminders now turned on. Healthcare providers will then have access to their own and unit-specific handwashing data. The unit manager and hospital administrators will be able to access all of these data and advanced analysis to make management decisions on infection reduction. This phase will last for 5 months.
Group II: Intervention-then-ControlActive Control1 Intervention
In each intensive care unit assigned to the Intervention-then-Control arm, all participants who regularly access to the ICUs will be educated on the functionalities of the CleanHands system with real time reminders turned on. Healthcare providers will then have access to their own and unit-specific handwashing data. The unit manager and hospital administrators will be able to access all of these data and advanced analysis to make management decisions on infection control. This phase will last for 5 months. After 5 months, a washout period of 2 months will be introduced to eliminate potential influences on healthcare providers' behaviors from sensor system installation and implementation. Then, the real-time reminder functionality of the wristband will be turned off and no more education will be provided. Handwashing compliance data will be automatically collected but will not be shared with the healthcare providers. This process will last for 5 months.
