Proper hand hygiene is the single most effective way to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). This includes cleaning hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer at appropriate times, such as before and after client contact. While wearing gloves and gowns, cleaning equipment, and isolating infected clients are important, they address specific aspects of infection control. These measures are effective in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, proper hand hygiene.
