1. Where to from here…..

2. Session Objectives Reinforce expectations following workshop
Discuss Auditing role
Discuss how to train other auditors
Know how to access HHA resources
Know how to access support from HHA

3. Where To From Here? Workshop coordinator will be in contact
All results are sent to you individually
DON’T PANIC!
Workshop participants who do not achieve (the very high) 90% pass rate will receive follow up training & validation
All validated Gold Standard auditors will be notified
All attendees receive a Certificate either of Achievement or of Attendance which counts towards CPD points
We will contact participants within 1 – 2 weeks.
Results are ed directly & confidentially to each participant on the address provided
90% is a high pass rate, however, every single validated GS auditor requires this mark, this ensures that everyone who is collecting data is seeing the 5 moments in the same way. Remember as we mentioned earlier the data will be used widely by CEO”s, ACSQHC and politicians
Follow up & further validation will be dependent on each individual participant, if the required validation level is not gained & will be detailed in the you receive with your results

4. Practice, Practice, Practice
Practice until you are familiar and comfortable with
The 5 Moments
The audit tool – mobile data collection or paper
Any auditing situation that may occur on the wards
Then progress to your specialty wards eg.ICU, dialysis, day oncology
Database entry
Participants should practice within 1 – 2 weeks of completing workshop, even if only for 20mins
It is important that auditors feel comfortable with the 5 Moments & auditing before audit period, as they are likely to get questions from staff when auditing & when feeding back results

5. Auditors Role in an established program
Discuss with your HH coordinator:
Giving you a login to HHCApp
HHA only provide logins to coordinators or new facilities
Which wards you will audit
What is your auditing schedule
Weekly, monthly, 8 weeks prior to due date
Will you provide HH education
Data entry – encourage use of mobile data collection

6. Getting Started in a New Facility
Once you are confirmed as a GSA:
Contact HHA for setup in HHCApp
Design a work plan for program implementation
HH team
Baseline audit
Education/product placement
Reaudit
Call HHA anytime for assistance

7. Choosing New Auditors
Once you have established the Program structure for your facility, you may find that more auditors are required
It will depend on the type of facility you work in, you may wish to include:
Link nurses
Other hospital staff e.g. Allied health, project people
People with a Passion for HH
Share the auditing with neighbouring hospitals
Clinical staff on light duties/work care placement
-It is impossible for one person to run the entire program in some facilities
-Remember this is not an Infection Control problem it’s a health service problem
-Facilities often train up a number of additional auditors to assist not only with the auditing, but these staff will also be able to educate staff in their own area at all times of the day & night, as well as weekend shifts

8. Locally Trained Auditors
As the Gold Standard Auditor at your facility you can train others to become general auditors
You are responsible to register anyone you train locally on the HHA website (
Your training sessions must include the mandatory sessions mentioned in the pathways document
Minimum 5 hrs to cover all
Training can take place over a full day, or in half days, or in shorter blocks
HHA recommend you don’t rush sessions and limit numbers

11. Caveats for Training Auditors
The people that you teach cannot teach others
If they are required to then they need to attend a HHA run workshop
You are responsible for giving regular updates to those that you train
Pass on updates from HHA
Ensure they follow Annual Auditor Validation
Run refresher session annually including auditing together (once an audit period is ideal)
Keep in regular contact with HHA & the HHA website

12. Annual Auditor Validation
All auditors – gold standard & general
Potential for auditing skill fade
Potentially jeopardize the validity of hand hygiene compliance (HHC) data
Maintain education standards
Keep abreast of any changes that may have occurred to auditing processes or collection procedures
Overall to maintain the validity of data

13. Annual Auditor Validation
Annual collection of a minimum moments
Can be achieved either on wards or via DVD
Annual completion of auditor online learning package
It’s not easy so allow time to complete it
Under consideration
You may not be able to submit data if not validated
