Title	Multimodal education to improve hand hygiene compliance.
Subject	Medical personnel, Health and hygiene; Handwashing; Hand washing; Nosocomial infections, Prevention; Cross Infection, prevention & control.
Description	The prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is staggering and can be reduced through improved hand hygiene. Research indicates the hands of health care workers are a direct mode of transmission for hospital-acquired infections. Hospital-acquired infections increase costs and length of stay for patients. Hand hygiene noncompliance undermines basic patient safety rights. Specifically in the acute care hospital setting, hand hygiene is a commonly neglected task by health care workers. The use of multimodal education strategies to improve hand hygiene compliance is well documented in current literature. Strategies targeting each stakeholder involved and utilizing multiple implementation strategies are most effective. The utilization of theory, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of the proposed multimodal education strategy will help reduce hospital-acquired infection through increase hand hygiene compliance.
