Hospital Watch Live and Handwashing
Automated real-time hand-washing compliance monitoring and alerting is now available with Infonaut’s Hospital Watch Live (HWL) solution.
Handwashing reduces hospital-acquired infections by decreasing the number of pathogens on the hands. It’s the most important, and least expensive, measure for preventing the transmission of hospital-acquired infections. However, studies show that handwashing compliance rarely exceeds 40%, even in intensive care units.

Ever Heard of "Knowledge Overload"?
|
|
Neither have we. “Information overload” however, is a very familiar term.
The clear implication is that there must be some major difference between information and knowledge – yet this crucial distinction is usually overlooked in the stampede to make use of sophisticated workplace technology.
In fact, very few organizations can readily articulate the difference between information and knowledge in their work practices.
So what IS the difference, then?
