Abstract
Poor hand hygiene in hospital settings leads to the spread of communicable disease to a population of individuals already medically compromised. The current study used the Performance Diagnostic Checklist-Human Services to develop an intervention targeting hand hygiene compliance for nine participants employed by an inpatient unit. The use of performance feedback and goal setting improved hand hygiene compliance when compared to baseline for eight of nine participants. Results are discussed in terms of strategies for using performance analysis to identify effective interventions to address performance deficits.
