Line care and hand hygiene

PCIPCI.5

What to observe

Look at the central line dressing — check it is dated, intact and dry, and within the change interval. Then ask for this unit's hand hygiene audit and see whether the staff on the floor can quote it. Record both.

What good looks like

A dated, intact, dry dressing changed at the policy interval, hand hygiene performed at the observed moments, and unit-level audit data that the staff on the floor can actually quote.
