HyGreen's hand hygiene system to be showcased at AHA summit

HyGreen, Inc. announces that it will showcase its hand hygiene system, HyGreen®, at the 19th Annual American Hospital Association Leadership Summit held July 17-19, 2011 in San Diego, CA. The Summit highlights the most effective and efficient approaches for hospitals and health systems to integrate care and improve financial and clinical performance along the continuum of care.

HyGreen, Inc. will demonstrate its real-time electronic hand hygiene recording and reminding system at booth #312. HyGreen® is designed to remind healthcare workers to wash their hands while recording all interactions in a database. This gives hospitals the means to provide objective feedback to individual healthcare workers, reinforce good hand hygiene behaviors, and improve quality of care.

"Changes in Medicare regulations have, and will continue to reduce payments to hospitals for fees associated with hospital associated infections," says HyGreen CEO Craig T. Davenport. "AHA attendees will have a unique opportunity to learn more about how HyGreen® can significantly reduce these HAI costs while improving quality and overall patient safety at their hospitals."
