Docs and Hospital and Medical Facility staff are smart folks and are generally trained very well in the USA. But does it not unsettle you a bit when the medical staff comes in to help you without washing their hands?
We feel the increased use of the Tapmaster Hands Free Faucet device in the Medical Community could help decrease disease by making hand washing easier and more available
We have taken portions from an article we read about hand washing or the lack thereof in Medical Facilities
-Washing hands is one of the single most effective ways to prevent the spread of dangerous infections — ranging from pneumonia to MRSA, a life-threatening staph infection — in U.S. hospitals
-Still, hospital workers wash their hands only about 40 to 50 percent of the time, often because it’s inconvenient or they are overwhelmed by other tasks.
-The CDC and the World Health Organization provide guidelines for good hand hygiene, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach to changing bad habits(for hand washing in medical facilities)
