2HAND HYGIENEIntroductionHand Hygiene can be described as the five key initiatives those have been set for thesafety of the patients by the world Alliance for patients. According to the World HealthOrganization “The goal of Clean Care is Safer Care is to ensure that infection control isacknowledged universally as a solid and essential basis towards patient safety and supports thereduction of Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) and their consequences” (WHO, 2017).There are various types of infection those are capable of encountering the patients and could bestopped by effective compliance of Hand Hygiene (HH) within the medical care premises. Inmanner to make it happen, proper education, guidance, training, methodologies are the crucialobjectives. This report presents critical evaluation of ten articles presented on the hand hygienecompliance by different areas and putting emphasis on different sectors of the hand hygienecompliance. Following report presents a thorough research on ten papers proposed on the relativetopic related to the compliance of hand hygiene within intensive health care facilities. Thearticles were chosen in manner that second article eliminates the limitations of the first articleand add additional information related to the processes that could help in enhancing theefficiency of the hand hygiene compliance. Regarding all the facts and aspects presented by allthe authors, it can be reported that proper education and training are the possible keys for thecompliance of hand hygiene within the intensive health care facilities with complete efficiency.MethodologyMany articles were popped up while searching ‘hand hygiene compliance’ on GoogleScholar and IEEE Explorer websites. There were hundreds of articles related to the hand hygieneamong which fifteen articles have been chosen for this research paper. Among them ten articles

In thispaper Meydanci et al. (2013) introduced the beneficial aspects related to the Hand Hygiene (HH)and how the system could be implemented to the current monitoring devices and systems usingbadges or wrist bands in manner to control the users. This paper presents a thorough research onthe RF-ID based electronic devises those are user friendly in nature and could be implementedwithin the existing system of the medicals in manner to enhance the monitoring capabilities. Thesystem that has been introduced in this paper introduces a wearable, wristband with passive RF-ID technology, with software that could be helpful in measuring the rate of the Hand Hygienecompliance and a wall mounted dispenser (Haque et al. 2017). Based on the research made in thepaper, it can be stated that technologies like RF-ID implemented within the wristbands could behelpful in ensuring the hand hygiene compliance with higher efficiency than any othermonitoring system. There were certain limitations of the technology, which includes that systemis incapable of detecting whether the caregiver needs to perform the HH procedure or not. Other article was presented by Johnson, Tsouri & Walsh (2012) this was an upgrade ofthe research made in the first paper that ensures measuring of the compliance of HH with RF-IDtechnology along with the finite state machines. The paper presented a prototype and a noblemethod that have been developed in manner to measure the health hygiene compliance within themedical hospitals. The technology that is being proposed in this paper is based on alliance
