The Putting Power into Healthcare Initiative (PPHI) began with the shared vision of Proventix, Alabama Power and 27 participating Alabama hospitals to improve health-quality compliance.  PPHI  is the first statewide effort ever to use a sophisticated, data-backed network that encourages and measures hand-washing across multiple hospitals in a single state. The initiative focuses on increasing hand hygiene in hospitals, which helps cut down on healthcare-associated infections. These infections can complicate a medical condition, extend the time a patient stays in the hospital, and boost the costs of healthcare and health insurance.  Read more…

The Lathem Physician Leadership in Hand Hygiene Award recognizes physicians who demonstrate excellence and leadership in hand hygiene.

To date, the nGage system has recorded over 7 million total hand cleanings. Our clients benefit from this massive amount of hand hygiene data and from our experience in interpreting that data, maybe more so than anybody else in the world.

Our clients are experiencing an average 105.6% increase in hand hygiene solution dispenses and an average HAI reduction of over 24%. nGage’s success and growth also demonstrates acceleration in the application of low cost Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices for quality based monitoring solutions. We would love to tell you more…please, ask us to tell the story.

Touch is inherent to healthcare: shaking a hand, taking a pulse, measuring blood pressure. Each of these points of contact is an opportunity to prevent or spread an infectious disease.

nGage, a point-of-care compliance monitoring and communication device infrastructure, improves hand hygiene compliance and reduces the human and economic losses associated with illness.

Clean Hands Matter: The hand washing system reduces infections and saves lives.
