Improving hand hygiene from high to very high compliance has not been documented to decrease healthcare-associated infections. The researchers conducted longitudinal analyses during 2013–2015 in an 853-bed hospital and observed a significantly increased hand hygiene compliance rate (p<0.001) and a significantly decreased healthcare-associated infection rate (p = 0.0066).
