Hospitals worldwide use evidence-based practice daily to continue to save lives and provide outstanding patient care.

EBP/ Clinical Experience The spread of infections in hospitals can be a significant problem. It can lead to more extended hospital stays and unfortunately some cases have caused death. “Standard precautions are used for all patient care. They’re based on a risk assessment and make use of common-sense practices and personal protective equipment use that protect healthcare providers from infection and spread of infection from patient to patient” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2017).

Healthcare workers don’t always stop and use soap and water when entering and leaving a patient’s room so having these sanitizers at the door helps remind the worker and family members to do hand hygiene. Fortunately, the policy at my hospital supports this evidence-based practice. They recently installed hand sanitizers at each door to promote the use
