Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Badge-based Monitoring Electronic Observation Community Monitoring CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology By far the most ubiquitous and pervasive technology in Healthcare and growing in use What you need to know: • Requires I. T. and/or Bio-Med assistance to connect across hospital network • Already deployed for WOWs and medical devices - this technology is already in place • Penetrates walls and clothing to track equipment, patients, and to record temperature readings • Maximizes ROI of existing I. T. network investments CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Prevalent where the technology's resistance to interference and lowenergy use makes it an easy choice What you need to know: • Embedded in most smart phones and growing in use for medical equipment connectivity – truly a “smart connected” technology • Broadly deployed across healthcare; embedded in devices such as blood pressure monitors, temperature measurement, and blood glucose monitors • Can be encrypted for secure data and voice transmission • 1 -2 year battery life for general use CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Using sound waves to measure the distance, movement and direction of people or objects. What you need to know: • Works well to isolate objects in a confined space; does not penetrate walls • Requires a proprietary network to receive and transmit signals • Although easier to support, it does not maximize investment in existing Wi-Fi network CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) What you need to know: Using electromagnetic waves to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. • Used to manage mobile medical equipment, improve patient workflow, monitor environmental conditions, and protect patients, staff and visitors from infection or other hazards • Active RFID tracks high-value, frequently moved objects; Passive RFID tracks lower cost items at a room or zone level (static) • Commonly used within RTLS systems • Requires a separate network to send and receive data packets CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Infrared(I R) Using thermal radiation to detect and make visible objects within a line of sight What you need to know: • Requires a line-of-sight to detect and transmit • Relies on a separate network devices to connect IR signals • Commonly used for night vision and thermal detection or objects (heat mapping) • Not as prevalent in hand hygiene monitoring solutions; if used, it is generally combined with RF or other technologies CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Asset Tags Provide the location and condition of critical resources What you need to know: • Needs vary by use case and not all use cases in a solution set are the same • Used to automatically identify and track the location of objects or people in real time, usually within a building or other contained area. Wireless CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Electronic Badges Provide the location and condition of critical resources What you need to know: • Small, battery powered or re-chargeable device worn by a healthcare worker for role-based or person-specific monitoring (hand hygiene, workflow, security, etc. ) • May be an obstacle for unionized or hospitals with policies regulating the use of individual tracking devices • Badges are developed to use specific wireless technologies for communicating with the system CONFIDENTIAL

Hand Hygiene Monitoring Technology Network & Locating Devices The backbone of a hand hygiene monitoring system What you need to know: • Used to locate an object in a specific location (hallway, room, etc. ) • Room sensors detect other devices in a room or zone (e. g. badges, dispensers, asset tags) • Commonly send data to a gateway device which sends data through the proprietary or hospital network to a processing device (on-site server or cloud-based service) CONFIDENTIAL

Key Considerations • Form a cross-functional team • Develop processes and competencies to support the system • Develop clear requirements • Review multiple solutions • Understand the implementation plan • Understand what you are getting • Validate for accuracy and capability • Prepare staff and leadership • Build programs to achieve sustainable performance Technology alone will not succeed CONFIDENTIAL
