When
• Hand Hygiene before touching a patient– Where possible Hand Hygiene should occur in front
of the patient so that they can observe it– Hand Hygiene on entering the patient’s room
Why
• To protect the patient against acquiring harmful germs from the hands of the HCW

www.hha.org.au
Rule for Auditing Moment 3
• HH Moment 3 must be performed immediately after a procedure or body fluid exposure risk
• Touching the outside of a drain or drainage bag even when the circuit is not broken, is considered a Moment 3 since there is a risk of body fluid exposure
![Page 26: Www.hha.org.au 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551ad5a155034606048b5365/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

– Moment 1 can either be followed by a Moment 4 or a Moment 3
– Moment 2 is generally followed by Moment 3
– Moment 5 is a stand alone Moment as there is no patient contact
• There are a few situations when two “afters” may be recorded sequentially

www.hha.org.au
Note 3
• The HCW must be observed to perform HH as they approach the patient.
• If HH is not observed it should be recorded as a “missed” action (i.e. HH not performed).
• In such circumstances the HCW can be asked
(at the conclusion of the sequence of care)
if they performed HH immediately prior to entering the room
• If they did then the Moment should be scored as HH performed
![Page 43: Www.hha.org.au 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551ad5a155034606048b5365/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
