A multidisciplinary team was formed to improve hand hygiene (HH) practices in a tertiary-care ICU. At baseline, an audit revealed that the overall HH compliance was 64% and was significantly lower at night than during the day shift. After implementing a stepwise multifaceted approach that included education, workplace reminders, active feedback and later universal contact precautions, the HH compliance improved significantly to >80%, and the improvement was sustained over several months. This improvement was noted during the day and night and affected different healthcare workers as well as visitors.
