Currently work at a hospital.
- The CEO's semi-monthly emails have either contained a) reminders to get the flu shot in flu season and b) statements about washing hands.
- Thirty minutes of your new employee orientation is used to discuss handwashing with some funny stories about diarrhea and they go around to every single person to make sure they're washing them correctly.
- Upon entering a patient room, anyone entering is supposed to wash their hands
- Anyone can call out a doctor and ask if they've washed their hands and there are signs to make patients comfortable asking them to do so as well.
So yeah, 2019 and people still need all that as reminders.
- BrandonMarc 7y agoI liked how in Freakonomics (I think), they interviewed someone who worked at a hospital, and would regularly and randomly take culture samples of nurses' and doctors' and administrators' hands. The results of the culture were shown on a screensaver. This feedback and public transparency was both amusing, and enforcing of the necessary handwashing.
