Big brother watching hand-washing helps a lot!

Police have found that the deployment of video cameras deter speeding. A hospital in New York placed video cameras with views of every sink and sanitizer dispenser to record hand hygiene of all workers. During 16-weeks of video monitoring only, acceptable hand hygiene rates were less than 10%. However, when real-time feedback on LED displays was implemented the rate of acceptable hygiene events climbed to more than 80% and remained so for almost two years.
