Proper Hand Washing – a Quality Improvement Proposal Purpose This proposal aims to implement better hand washing practices in the nursing home setting. The idea is making handwashing education a continuous process rather than a single event throughout the year. The project focuses on encouraging the nursing home to hold hand washing training sessions every two months. The implementation includes choosing a team leader who will be carrying out follow-up modules. The education will encourage health care practitioners, patients, and their relatives to wash hands more frequently.

This plan will not only be cost-effective in the long run but will also make handwashing a norm amongst the nursing home fraternity. Such an initiative will reduce the prevalence of germs within the nursing home environment. The plan capitalizes on the evidence that proper handwashing minimizes the rate of infection of multi-drug resistant pathogens.
