Hygiene Moment Methods

Hand hygiene programs around the world don't agree on how many moments to audit. WHO's My 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene is the global standard. CDC and many North American facilities use a 4-moment model. Some sites use a simplified 2-moment in / out approach for high-volume rounding. clearPath supports all three out of the box.

The selected method drives the audit form on every device, the moment-level breakdown on the dashboard, and which compliance reports are available. Switching methods is a configuration change, not a code change — auditors immediately see the right form on their next session.

Moment-Level Visibility

Whichever methodology your facility uses, every observation in clearPath is tagged with the specific moment it represents. The dashboard's moments radar widget breaks compliance out by moment so leadership can see whether the gap is at before patient contact, after body-fluid exposure, or somewhere else — not just an aggregate number that hides the problem.

  • Per-moment compliance trend over time
  • Moments radar chart on the dashboard
  • Compliance-by-moment-over-time report

  • Identify which moment to coach next

Compliance by Moment Over Time

The Compliance by Moment Over Time report charts each moment as its own line so trends pop out. A flat aggregate number on a board pack hides the story; a per-moment trend tells leadership exactly where the program is improving and where it needs work.

  • One trend line per moment
  • Filter by facility, unit, auditor, or HCP type
  • Survey-ready PDF output
  • CSV export for further analysis
