Hand Sanitizing Pilot

The new GOJO® SMARTLINK Activity Monitoring System will monitor and measure hand hygiene by tracking soap and sanitizer dispenser activations as well as room entries and exits. The system accurately captures the data and calculates hand hygiene performance rate. Performance rate is not role specific and includes health care personnel, doctors, patients and visitors, so everyone has an important role in creating a culture of safety.
