Crede Technologies Inc. is a company dedicated to specialized custom software development for the Health Care Industry. Our focus is on building systems to support improved Quality and Patient Safety in acute, residential, and community settings with an emphasis on auditing and monitoring tools.
Effective hand hygiene auditing is essential to infection prevention, patient safety, and quality improvement across healthcare settings. CleanHands® is a cloud-based hand hygiene audit system that enables healthcare organizations to observe hand hygiene practices, measure compliance, and collect meaningful data to support informed decision-making.
Designed for hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centres, and long-term care facilities, CleanHands® replaces manual, paper-based processes with a streamlined digital platform for collecting, managing, analyzing, and reporting hand hygiene audit data. With timely insights and customizable reports, organizations can identify compliance gaps, target staff education, and strengthen their infection prevention and control (IPAC) programs.
Hand hygiene is one of the most important measures for preventing the transmission of pathogens and reducing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Whether performed using alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water, appropriate hand hygiene helps interrupt the chain of infection and protect patients, healthcare workers, and visitors.
However, effective hand hygiene involves more than simply cleaning hands. Healthcare professionals must follow recommended hand hygiene practices at the appropriate moments, use proper technique, and understand when hand hygiene is required—even when gloves are worn.
By transforming direct observations into actionable insights, CleanHands® helps healthcare organizations move beyond data collection to support measurable improvements in hand hygiene compliance and patient safety.
CleanHands® streamlines the direct-observation hand hygiene audit process into five simple steps, helping healthcare organizations measure compliance, identify improvement opportunities, and strengthen infection prevention and control (IPAC) practices.
1. What is the CleanHands® Hand Hygiene Audit System?
CleanHands® is a cloud-based, mobile and web-based hand hygiene audit solution that enables healthcare organizations to record, analyze, and report hand hygiene compliance through direct observation. The platform streamlines data collection, simplifies reporting, and provides actionable insights to support infection prevention and quality improvement.
2. Why are hand hygiene audits important?
Regular hand hygiene audits help healthcare organizations measure compliance, identify gaps in practice, and target staff education where it is needed most. By monitoring performance and supporting continuous improvement, audits contribute to infection prevention, patient safety, and efforts to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
3. Does CleanHands® support WHO hand hygiene guidelines?
Yes. CleanHands® supports direct-observation auditing based on the World Health Organization's (WHO) Four Moments for Hand Hygiene. The system can also be configured to accommodate auditing only Moment #1, allowing organizations to align audit workflows with their applicable guidelines and requirements.
4. Can CleanHands® support multiple healthcare facilities?
Yes. CleanHands® supports auditing across multiple departments, facilities, and healthcare sites through a centralized reporting portal. Organizations can standardize data collection, consolidate results, compare performance, and monitor hand hygiene compliance across their networks.
5. Can hand hygiene audit data be exported?
Yes. CleanHands® allows users to export audit data and reports for further analysis, performance reviews, leadership presentations, and quality improvement initiatives. These reporting capabilities help organizations turn audit results into actionable insights.
