About the KHC HIIN Hand Hygiene Collaborative
In 2017, KHC launched a new collaborative to help hospitals track and improve hand hygiene. Tanya McIntosh, RN, BSN, CIC, infection preventionist with The University of Kansas Hospital is serving the statewide Hand Hygiene Collaborative as a hospital improvement advisor. Education, coaching, peer-to-peer collaboration, an online toolkit, list-serv, and comparative data reports are offered to help hospitals improve clinical practices and care processes. In addition, with HIIN funding and in partnership with Qualaris Healthcare Solutions, KHC is able to offer a no-cost, easy-to-use mobile software tool for each participating hospital to use for capturing real-time data for hand hygiene observations.
Our faculty for the collaborative is Barb DeBaun, RN, MSN, CIC, improvement advisor for Cynosure Health. Barb is a reknowned and familiar leader in infection prevention nationwide, such her work with hospitals participating in the AHA/HRET Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN). She conducts performance improvement training, infection prevention program support, and much more. Barb is an active member of APIC and served two years on the APIC board of directors. She also served as APIC's liaison to the CDC's Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee.
