### Summary box #### What are the new findings? #### How might it impact on healthcare in the future? The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over a 100 million cases and substantial numbers of admissions to acute care hospitals. Hand hygiene is a practical, affordable, acceptable, safe, reliable and effective strategy to mitigate the risks of nosocomial transmission to other patients in hospital for other reasons. Hand hygiene is also critical for ensuring the safety of healthcare workers and maintaining overall hospital staffing. However, hand hygiene is fallible because of many cognitive biases in everyday care.1 Clinicians, for example, have no easy way to determine if they are contaminated, whether their hand hygiene is sufficient, or if they are recalling correctly a repetitive activity.2–4 One strategy for improving hand hygiene is to increase the availability of hand sanitizer dispensers in public places is to structure more convenient opportunities for repeated hand washing.
