3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This exploratory cross sectional cohort study will evaluate the feasibility and fidelity of using an innovative strategy, the Patient Motivational Dialogue (PMD)/PMDPlus that will intentionally motivate and encourage the patient toward self-advocacy for their Health Care Professional's (HCP's) hand hygeine (HH) adherence.
The objective of the trial is to assess the impact of a disinfection and hand hygiene program on absenteeism in elementary school classrooms. Students in intervention classrooms will use alcohol-based hand sanitizers at school, and their classrooms will be disinfected using quaternary ammonium wipes. We hypothesize that the use of disinfectants and hand hygiene products in elementary school classrooms will reduce absenteeism.
The purposes of this study are to identify the common bacterial flora on the hand and evaluate the efficacy of readily available skin-preparation solutions in the elimination of bacterial pathogens from the surgical site following skin preparation. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the efficacy of Chloraprep, Duraprep, and betadine in pre-operative skin preparation in clean, elective hand surgery cases.
