POLICY REGULATION FACT SHEET 1 Policy Regulation Fact Sheet: Hand Hygiene Policy Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Author’s Note

POLICY REGULATION FACT SHEET 2 Policy Regulation Fact Sheet: Hand Hygiene Policy Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected. The goal of implementing a hand hygiene policy is to eliminate or significantly cut back on the number of incidents related with healthcare-associated infections. The World Health Organization's rules for proper hand hygiene must be followed by all members of the healthcare team (Masson-Roy et al., 2018). The goal of the strategy is to enhance current medical procedures in order to prevent the spread of disease-causing bacteria between patients during the provision of medical care. Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation. Modifications to the healthcare system can be determined based on the hand hygiene policy in order to guarantee that the system as it is now in place complies with the regulations linked with hand hygiene. In addition, this strategy boosts motivation and momentum, making it easier for the administration to assess hygienic facilities according to exceptionally high criteria, which is essential for the successful development of new ones. In addition, the hand hygiene policy makes it easier to avoid contracting a number of infections, which in turn results in a reduction in the number of new healthcare facilities being required at a lower cost (Hillier, 2020). Notably, this is the case since no new cases of sickness have been reported or discovered. Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow. The patient population as a whole has seen fewer infections as a result of the hand cleanliness program. Remarkably, the simple act of patients washing their hands can significantly reduce the risk of infection for other people residing in the healthcare facility. The promotion and improvement of patient safety as well as the strengthening of the prevention of infections is another influence that is related with hand hygiene policies (Chadwick, 2019). Additionally, there has been a decline in the number of infections that are related with medical care as a direct result of the program. In a healthcare context, regularly washing one's hands can significantly reduce the risk of

POLICY REGULATION FACT SHEET 3 illness transmission to other patients and staff. Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific. Hand hygiene is something that may be addressed through a variety of practices and policies within the organization. The effective washing of one's hands with sterile water is one of the measures (Makhni et al., 2021). Cleaning one's hands with detergents is an example of a practice that addresses hand hygiene because doing so stops the spread of infections, which in turn leads to an improvement in patient safety (Chadwick, 2019). The inhabitants of the healthcare organization are required to wash their hands as part of another routine before coming into contact with other people who work in the healthcare company.
