Hand hygiene remains one of the most effective strategies for preventing healthcare-associated infections, yet many organizations struggle to achieve consistent compliance. Success depends not only on individual behavior but also on the systems and infrastructure that support hand hygiene practices.

This educational video introduces the 5Ps of Hand Hygiene Infrastructure, a framework designed to help infection preventionists evaluate and strengthen key components that influence hand hygiene performance.

The discussion explores how multiple factors work together to create a more reliable and sustainable hand hygiene program.

Healthcare professionals can use this framework to assess current practices, identify gaps, and prioritize improvement opportunities within their facilities. By broadening the focus beyond compliance alone, the 5Ps approach helps infection preventionists develop more comprehensive strategies that support better outcomes and advance infection prevention and control efforts.
