According to the CDC guidelines and resources for hand hygiene and the state policy options
associated with Eliminating Healthcare Associated Infections, provide a brief discussion of what you must consider with regard to training your staff and documenting the impact by measuring hand
hygiene practices.
Now, review the Guidelines for Policy and Procedure Development, and write the policy based on your recommendations and what you found in the CDC guidelines.
Submit the revised policy along with your paper. Any
changes remitted from the CDC policy should be
defended in your paper.
