The Right User
Provide targeted education and training on proper hand
hygiene technique and routine performance feedback to primary
user groups:
• Staff and volunteers
• Patients, families, and visitors
We think this will go a long way in helping healthcare
organizations think about hand hygiene in a systematic way that
contributes to highly reliable staff performance (aka sustained
increases in compliance).
Paul Alper, BA, led the launch of PURELL®, invented the

Industries, Inc. through an exclusive engagement with his
