ECCMID 2012: OPHARDT hygiene presents award winning Hand Hygiene Monitoring System
London / Issum, April 4th, 2012. At the 22nd ECCMID in London, OPHARDT hygiene presented its award winning hand hygiene monitoring system “OPHARDT Hygiene Monitoring System®” (OPHARDT HMS). The complete hardware and software solution helps hospitals to measure, analyze and sustainably improve hand hygiene compliance, thus reducing the number of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Furthermore, the company shows its extended range of fixing solutions for the variable installation of disinfect dispensers directly at the point of care.The OPHARDT Hygiene Monitoring System® has been already recognised with the prestigious Frost & Sullivan "Best Practices Award" for new product innovations. In the course of an international study carried out by the renowned market research institute, various system solutions to measure hand hygiene practices in medical facilities were compared. The OPHARDT Hygiene Monitoring System® placed significantly higher than products offered by competitors. The new product solution has been received very positively in practice: Several hospitals in Germany as well as a university hospital in Switzerland already use the system. “Our intensive dialogue with medical facilities enables us to further develop OPHARDT HMS, keeping us ahead of the competition. The positive user feedback shows that we are on the right track”, explains Kristina Ophardt, product manager Hygiene Compliance Solutions.
Always at the “Point of Care” with flexible fixing solutions
OPHARDT hygiene also introduced a variety of new fixing solutions to the expert audience. “The basic idea is simple. With our extended range of bracket systems, we enable hospital staff to install disinfectant dispensers directly at the “point of action”: At patient’s beds, at Dräger rails or at round frames, for example. Optimizing availability is an important prerequisite to enhance hand hygiene compliance in the long run”, says Kristina Ophardt.
