Hand hygiene auditing is mandatory for all Malaysian public hospitals; nonetheless, the burden of auditing is impacting the support and sustainability of the program. We report an alternative method to routinely measure hand hygiene compliance with the aim to test whether alcohol-based handrub purchase data could be used as a proxy for usage because human auditing has decreased validity and reliability inherent in the methodology.
手部卫生审核对所有马来西亚公立医院来说都是强制性的；尽管如此，审核负担正在影响该项目的支持力度和可持续性。我们报告了一种常规测量手部卫生依从性的替代方法，目的是测试基于酒精的洗手液购买数据是否可以用作使用情况的替代指标，因为人工审核降低了该方法固有的有效性和可靠性。
