Hygiene compliance monitoring system

摘要

An electronic hand hygiene compliance system and award indicator that provides realtime reporting of the percent number of hand hygiene events against a programmed target number of hand hygiene events for a given functional area over a given period of time, yielding hand hygiene compliance. The system keeps up to date compliance for an established group interval until the data is written over by compliance data for the same group interval the following day. In addition, a random hand hygiene event can be identified for a given functional area during a given period of time to trigger an alarm for encouraging hand hygiene activity for a given dispenser or group of dispensers.

主权项

1. A hygiene compliance monitoring system for a dispenser maintaining material to be dispensed, the hygiene compliance monitor system comprising:
a controller having at least one shift time interval and a target value of hand hygiene events corresponding to said at least one shift time interval; and an activation switch that communicates an at least one actual hand hygiene event data to a memory unit, said memory unit having at least one memory bank corresponding to said at least one shift time interval, such that said controller compares the at least one actual hand hygiene event data to the target value of hand hygiene events; wherein the memory unit has at least a first memory bank and a second memory bank, wherein said first memory bank corresponds to a first shift time interval and said second memory bank corresponds to a second shift time interval, and further wherein said first and second memory banks operate in a cycle wherein each of said first and said second shift time intervals has a start time and an end time, and further wherein said start time of said second shift time interval immediately follows said end time of said first shift time interval.
