Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a pilot study to determine the effectiveness of antimicrobial scrubs on bacterial burden of HCW's hands and clothing in a clinical setting.
Detailed Description
Goals of the pilot study:
- Compare CFU counts on antimicrobial vs standard scrubs in a clinical setting
- Assess CFU counts on the hands of HCWs wearing antimicrobial vs non-antimicrobial scrubs
- Assess HCW hand hygiene compliance during the study protocol
- Correlate device associated infection rates during protocol to historical controls
- Assess feasibility of applying protocol to a longer,12-24 month, prospective crossover-trial to definitively study and assess the impact of antimicrobial scrubs on HCW apparel and hand colonization, control of multi-drug resistance organisms, hand hygiene compliance, and device associated hospital acquired infection rates.
