Automated hand hygiene monitoring with RTLS

RTLS hand hygiene monitoring uses staff badges and sensors on dispensers and room entries to record hand hygiene events automatically. It gives infection control teams complete data instead of small observed samples.

Capabilities

What it does

Every opportunity counted

Events are captured automatically, not just when an auditor is present.

Less observer bias

Staff behaviour is not influenced by visible auditing.

Targeted coaching

See results by unit, role and shift.

Contact tracing

Find who was near an infected patient, and when.

Real-time reminders

Optional prompts at room entry.

Reporting

Data to support NSQHS Standard 3 (infection prevention).

Results quoted are from CenTrak customer case studies, mostly in the United States. Outcomes in Australian facilities will vary.

FAQ

Common questions

How does automated hand hygiene monitoring work?

Staff badges detect when a person enters a patient zone and whether a dispenser was used, and the system records compliance automatically.

Does it replace manual audits?

It can reduce reliance on manual observation, but many facilities keep some audits to meet national reporting requirements.

Can it help with contact tracing?

Yes. Location history shows which staff and patients were in contact.
