Keep up the good work! Our Hand Hygiene numbers continue to rise...although we should be at 100%! Remember that volunteers are included in these numbers - special hand hygiene monitors on each unit keep track of who is washing their hands. Check the units for postings of oncology hand hygiene.
As part of the “We Put Patients First” effort at NYP, employees are making their own “commitments to care.” These commitments are individual promises to improve how we interact with each other and with those we are here to serve. These commitments are personal and powerful. And, together, as we all make and keep our commitment to care, we can create an environment that we will all be proud of.
