“We have done extensive research on the products available for RFID-based hand hygiene compliance monitoring, and we were really interested in finding a system that could become part of our clinical culture. Accurately monitoring hand hygiene compliance was always a struggle, but since installing Proventix’s nGage system, we have determined that nGage is 100% accurate in detecting entries and exits into patient rooms and 97% accurate in detecting soap and sanitizer dispenses. We are extremely excited to partner with an organization that has the same goals as ours – improving hand hygiene compliance and decreasing healthcare associated infections. “

“At Princeton Baptist Medical Center, we have observed that employees want to know they are receiving credit for washing their hands. Prior to installation, we were concerned the staff would have hesitations about being monitored. After interacting with the nGage system, they understand the system only reinforces that they are washing their hands, and does not punish them if they fail to wash their hands. We have seen increases in soap and sanitizer dispensing rates in every unit. Having the nGage system has encouraged our employees to wash their hands more frequently, and patients and families have noticed our increased focus on hand hygiene and have followed our staff’s example.”

“The Proventix Team was able to easily integrate the nGage system with our existing products and the installation process did not disrupt our workflows at all. Since installation, we have seen significant downward trends in HAIs on the nGage-installed unit. The reports generated by nGage have helped us evaluate not only hand hygiene compliance, but also nurse rounding habits, average EVS cleaning time and more. The Proventix Team is supportive, accessible and provides reports that give us the information we need to assess our hospital’s progress.  They not only helped us focus on improving hand hygiene, but also gave us the tools we need to look at quality and workflow processes that impact patient outcomes.”
