HAND HYGIENE COMPLIANCE

Disclosed herein is self-contained beacon for use in a hand hygiene compliance system to interface with a plurality of wearable monitors in the implementation of an automated hand hygiene compliance ,protocol. The beacon includes a mountable housing; an integrated power source; and a transmitter operatively coupled to the power source, the transmitter comprising two or more emitters operatively disposed and divergently angled relative to one another to emit respective transmission beams shaped to bisect a designated attendant travel path to intercept passage of the wearable monitors upon passage along the travel path, wherein the respective transmission beams are configured to overlap to form a combined transmission beam to be substantially uninterrupted at a level of the wearable monitor as the combined transmission beam bisects the path, the transmitter configured to transmit an encoded identifier via the two or more emitters to be received and processed by the wearable monitors upon passage along the travel path for implementation of the automated hand hygiene compliance protocol, L'invention concerne, selon différents modes de réalisation, un système de respect des règles d'hygiène des mains, ainsi qu'une balise, un moniteur portable et un kit associés.
