Hand Hygiene Tracking System Report - Healthcare, University Name

This report focuses on Hand Hygiene Tracking Systems (HHTS) within the healthcare industry. It begins by highlighting the significance of HHTS in preventing healthcare-related infections, reducing contamination, and enhancing patient empathy. The report then reviews scholarly articles to support the use of HHTS, emphasizing its role in managing access, restricting germ transmission, and identifying preventive measures. A detailed plan for implementing change is outlined, including stakeholder involvement, communication strategies, and training programs for employees. The report also addresses the costs associated with implementing HHTS and the anticipated impacts, such as improved hygiene and revised stakeholder activities. The conclusion reiterates the importance of HHTS in infection control and emphasizes the roles of change managers, IT experts, and HR departments. The report acknowledges that changes in public policy and technological advancements will not affect these changes. The report concludes with a comprehensive list of references.

Introductio
n
• The current trends of the
healthcare industries include
palliative data and rehabilitative
care (Awward et al., 2019)
• The future trends of this
healthcare industry are
consumerization of healthcare ,
population heath management
and precision medicine (Zhang et
al., 2017)
Hand Hygiene Tracking System
(HHTS) can be defined as the type of
system which is increasingly used in
the healthcare industries to prevent
the transmission of healthcare
related infections (Staats et
al. ,2017).

Significance of the topic in healthcare
informatics
• Reduce chances of
contamination.
• Maintain exist and
entry of people
inside research
laboratories
(Bakshi et al.,
2019).
• Enhance
awareness of
practitioners

Research from scholarly articles
 As discussed by Fagert et al. (2017), HHTS
can be useful to manage exist and entry of
a outsiders in a healthcare industry. The
researchers also stated that empathy of
the patients can be enhanced using this
system.
 As elaborated by Haque et al. (2017),
transmission of germs can be restricted
using HHTS. The scholar also helped in
understanding that germ preventive
measure can be identified using HHTS.

Plan for implementing a change
 Explain the goals of the
change to each stakeholder
of the business.
 Explaining the necessity of
change.
 Discussing the roadmap of
the change.
 Development of a
communication strategy.
 Creation of a supporting
structure to support the
change.
 Measuring the entire change
management procedure.

Stakeholder involvement and training
programs
 Involvement of the
management team, IT
expert, change manager
and HR department is very
much required to bring the
changes in the healthcare
industries (Kurtz, 2017)
 Problem solving training
and technical training is
required to deal wit h the
necessary changes as well.

Significance of training and evaluation the success of the
change
 Skill set of the employees
can be enhanced using the
on job training sessions
 Creation and transfer of
knowledge can be boosted
using with these training
sessions as well (Nicolaides
et al. 2019).
 Performance improvement
plans can evaluate the
success of the change.
 Measuring the cumulative
progress and individual
progress are also significant
to evaluate the success of
change (Pineles, Robinson &
Morgan, (2017).

Cost to enact the
change
 Challenges of current
practices like
contamination which costs
a minimum of
USD$50000).
 Training session for the
employees to deal with
issues like wasted
resources shall required
USD$1000.
Impact of changes
 Hygiene of the infected
persons can be
enhanced after the
enactment of HHTS
(Pong, 2019).
 Daily activities of the
stakeholders can be
revised and maintained
if this change is
maintained (Soliman,
2018).

Conclusion
 Infection in a healthcare environment can
be restricted with the help of HHTS.
 Role of change manager, IT expert and HR
department is very much significant to
bring about the changes.
 Training sessions can be useful to enhance
the skill set of the employees of the
healthcare industries.
 Changes in public policy and technological
advancements shall not be having any
effect on these changes.
