  1. Why so many funny hand hygiene videos? (That actually aren't funny.) People treat it like a joke. It's not simple. The CDC Guideline in 2002 had, by my count, 47 distinct recommendations to implement. Thinking that complex problems - for example ones that involve things like the interaction of microbiology and human behavior - are simple is one of the main problems we face in improving patient safety. This is a 1-page summary of the CDC Recommendations that we made in 2005. http://www.patientsafety.gov/SafetyTopics/HandHygiene/1PageSummaryHandHygieneCDC.doc
    No joke.

  2. The video demonstrates an institutions endorsement across disciplines of a fundamental infection prevention mesage, delivered with good cheer and sense of humor. Congratulations to all participants.
