The Canadian Patient Safety Institute (CPSI) is holding a Hand Hygiene Video Competition to engage organizations in the improvement of optimal hand hygiene. Hospitals across Canada are submitting videos that promote hand hygiene, demonstrate effective hand washing and showcase participation from as many departments in the facility as possible. The winner will be announced during the 3rd Annual Canada’s Forum on Patient Safety in the fall.
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) has decided to participate in this competition. The video will be a 50’s inspired mystery theme. Detectives investigate an inexplicable outbreak of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). Their investigation leads them to discover that super villain MRS. A is up to her villainous ways, spreading her MRSA onto everything she comes in contact with.
The submission is the result of hard work from the Infection Prevention and Control Team, their summer student Amanda Houze,and Mac-Uy Lai and Richard Barry from our Communications Department.
Creating the video was a great way to engage staff and promote the four moments for hand hygiene, another way CKHA demonstrates its commitment to safe, quality patient care.
