Exploring patient participation in reducing health-care-related safety risks 44 Recommendation 1 – Educate patients on hand hygiene Appropriate patient information can play an important part in the process of active patient engagement in hand hygiene implementation. Development and extension of patients’ education on hand hygiene, patient safety and reduction of HAI are key interventions that can be achieved through training and education programmes. Preparation and distribution of materials to raise hand hygiene awareness supports these interventions. Recommendation 2 – Educate HCWs on patient involvement in safe care The survey shows that patients are much more likely to ask about hand hygiene if explicitly invited to do so, highlighting the need for full HCW support for the process. Patient participation in hand hygiene could be further enhanced through HCWs’ education, focusing on promotion and advocacy for patient participation in safe care and using explicit invitations from HCWs as guidance. Recommendation 3 – Stimulate cultural change among the general public and medical profession Many institutions score “inadequate” for patient participation in the self-assessment tool, showing that the culture of safety is not fully implemented in hospitals. Identified links between age, profession and beliefs, and the perception of patients’ direct involvement in reducing HAIs provide additional evidence for the necessary cultural change for the general public (safety and quality expectations) and medical profession to enhance health care provider and patient dialogue at hospital level. Recommendation 4 – Monitor progress and provide evidence The study described in this chapter should be extended to other health care facilities to validate the data on a wider national scale and promote their further use in informing related decision-making mechanisms. Dedicated indicators should be used to monitor progress and ensure that planned actions are implemented and patient engagement in wide-scale hand hygiene compliance is ensured and effective.
