    Who goes in and out of patient rooms? An observational study of room entries and exits in the acute care setting
    (2019-05) Arbogast, James W.; Moore, Lori; Clark, Tracy; Thompson, Maria
    The objective of this study is to determine what percentage of patient room entries and exits (opportunities) are attributed to health care personnel (HCP) and non-HCP. A total of 14,876 opportunities were observed by clinicians in 29 units of 16 hospitals. HCP accounted for 83.6%; 95% confidence interval, 81.3%-87.6%. This finding provides hospitals an initial baseline for HCP room traffic when implementing community-based automated hand hygiene monitoring and compliance improvement efforts.
