Résumé
An automated hand-hygiene monitoring system (AHHMS) was implemented in October 2019 at the A full cost-effectiveness economic assessment was carried out for the hospital. The alternatives assessed were AHHMS implementation The total estimated cost of the AHHMS alternative represented potential savings of $308,927-$546,795 US Dollars compared to non-implementation of the system (US$464,102 v. US$773,029-$1,010,898) for the period. AHHMS effectiveness was reflected in a diminished number of infections, 46-79 (-43.4-56.7%) compared to non-implementation (60 v. 106-139 infections). The AHHMS was found to be a cost-saving alternative for the HIMFG given its cost-effectiveness and lower cost

Methodology
A full cost-effectiveness economic assessment was carried out for the hospital. The alternatives assessed were AHHMS implementation
Results
The total estimated cost of the AHHMS alternative represented potential savings of $308,927-$546,795 US Dollars compared to non-implementation of the system (US$464,102 v. US$773,029-$1,010,898) for the period. AHHMS effectiveness was reflected in a diminished number of infections, 46-79 (-43.4-56.7%) compared to non-implementation (60 v. 106-139 infections).
Conclusion
The AHHMS was found to be a cost-saving alternative for the HIMFG given its cost-effectiveness and lower cost
