From Ward to Operating Room: Ocamar Hand Hygiene Compliance System, Building an "Invisible Defense Line" for Medical Safety

2024-04-04

In the entire process of hospital treatment, hand hygiene is a crucial step in preventing cross-infection and safeguarding patient safety. Whether it is routine care in the ward or precise operations in the operating room, standardized hand hygiene procedures are indispensable. The Onco Hand Hygiene Compliance System, relying on mature medical Internet of Things technology, creates precise solutions for different scenarios, ensuring that hand hygiene management runs through the entire treatment process and safeguards medical safety.


Ward scene: Intelligent monitoring makes hand hygiene management more efficient


The ward, as the core area for patients' recovery, requires strict hand hygiene standards for every medical staff's visit, medication administration, and nursing procedures. However, traditional hand hygiene management relies on manual supervision, which not only has low efficiency but also is prone to regulatory blind spots.


The Onko Hand Hygiene Compliance System addresses this issue at its root and can be quickly deployed without complex construction. The system can automatically record the handwashing data of hospital staff, including the time and frequency of handwashing, and accurately calculate the hand hygiene compliance rate, avoiding errors and omissions in manual statistics. Every day, the system will proactively notify the hand hygiene status to individuals, promptly reminding the necessity of handwashing and helping medical staff develop good habits; at the same time, it will generate rankings for departments, doctors, and nurses, promoting the handwashing awareness of all staff through fair competition.


What's more considerate is that the system can monitor the remaining amount of hand sanitizer in the ward in real time. Once it drops below the threshold, it will automatically remind to replenish, ensuring that medical staff can always obtain cleaning supplies when needed. For ward managers, the system's data visualization functions such as "Today's Alerts", "Hand Hygiene Times This Month", and "Statistics of Hand Hygiene Times by Location" can clearly show the weak links in hand hygiene management, helping to optimize it in a targeted manner, and transforming the ward's hand hygiene management from "passive supervision" to "active prevention and control".


Operating room scene: Adhering to the intelligent process, strictly ensuring surgical safety


The operating room is the top priority in medical risk prevention and control. Whether hand hygiene standards are followed or not directly affects the safety of the surgery and the postoperative recovery of patients. The Angke Hand Hygiene Compliance System is deeply adapted to the needs of the intelligent operating room and collaborates with the informationization and Internet of Things systems in the operating room to provide hand hygiene protection throughout the surgical process.


Combined with the intelligent operating room positioning network (using technologies such as RFID and Bluetooth), the system can precisely track the movement paths of medical staff in the operating area. When medical staff enter key entrances and exits of the operating area, as well as the surrounding areas of the operating table, the system can immediately verify their hand hygiene compliance status, ensuring that they have completed the proper handwashing procedure before entering the sterile area, thereby reducing the risk of infection at the source. At the same time, the system data can be connected with the perioperative management system. Hand hygiene records are included in the surgical safety management system and are linked with information such as surgical scheduling, equipment verification, and intraoperative and postoperative care records, becoming an important part of the unified medical record management in the hospital and providing a reliable basis for surgical quality traceability.


Regarding the critical aspect of drug management in the operating room (especially for toxic and narcotic drugs), the system can automatically prompt healthcare workers to perform hand hygiene before and after handling the drugs, preventing contamination of the hands from affecting the safety of the drugs. This further improves the closed-loop management of the operating room. Moreover, the system deployment does not require any modifications to the existing facilities of the operating room and is compatible with the information integration and surgical process monitoring functions of the smart operating room. It does not interfere with the normal surgical procedures, allowing hand hygiene management to seamlessly integrate into the smart surgical environment.


From the daily care in the hospital ward to the precise diagnosis in the operating room, the Angko Hand Hygiene Compliance System, with its advantages of "no construction required, easy deployment, full data traceability, and strong adaptability to smart scenarios", enables the implementation of hand hygiene standards in every medical process. As a brand that has been dedicated to the medical Internet of Things field for over 20 years, Angko, with reliable technology and rich practical experience, will continue to empower medical safety with technology and provide solid support for the construction of smart hospitals.
