The importance of providing Patient Hand Wipes with meals:

• Reduces Germ Transmission: Encourages hand hygiene at the most critical moment—before eating—helping to reduce hospital-acquired infections (HAIs).
• Minimizes Cross-Contamination: Limits the transfer of bacteria from hands to food, utensils, or face.
• Accessible Hygiene: Empowers bed-bound or mobility-limited patients to clean their hands without needing assistance or leaving the bed.
• Improves Meal Satisfaction: Clean hands can make patients feel more comfortable and confident eating their meal.
• Cost-Effective Infection Prevention: A low-cost addition that supports big-picture hospital goals—like lowering infection rates and improving outcomes.
• Meets Survey & Compliance Standards: Shows proactive steps to support safety initiatives during inspections and accreditations.
