Execute: Mindfulness and Team Accountability with Hand Hygiene

This video demonstrates how to approach someone who has not properly cleaned their hands while fostering a sense of team accountability and personal mindfulness. Delivering feedback properly can improve performance by being timely, individualized to a person or specific unit, and non-punitive. It is also helpful to focus on one’s own actions by being mindful, connecting the act of hand cleaning to the prevention of infection, and being open to giving and receiving feedback. The Hand Hygiene Foundations Learning Series consists of four videos and was developed in partnership with the American Hospital Association (AHA).
