Compliance
Most restaurants, food distributors and healthcare services are concerned with hand sanitation. Most restaurants and food distributors etc. have in place various education and training programs to teach new and existing employees the importance of hand sanitation. Hand-in-Scan is simply a monitoring system incorporated into your existing educational training program to help achieve compliance. Â
Solution
Hand-In-Scan developed a Total Quality Management solution that employs digital measurement stations – quality check points – optimized training tools and a unique reporting system for management. The core of this technology is digital imaging combined with proprietary software technology to create objective assessment on the quality of hand hygiene. It has been proven that the application of the Hand-In-Scan management system fosters continuous quality improvement. Hand-In-Scan can also teach the validated WHO’s 6-step hand washing protocol (part of the US CDC recommendation and EN1500), with higher cost effectiveness and less human effort. Â

Did you know? …that reducing foodborne illness by just 1 percent would keep about 500,000 Americans from getting sick each year. Reducing foodborne illness by 10 percent would keep about 5 million from getting sick. Â
Problem
There are 1.4 million cases of HAI a day globally, resulting in a quarter of a million unnecessary deaths a year in the developed countries alone over 10% of restaurants patrons and patients in U.S. hospitals acquire HAIs, costing tens of billions of dollars’ annual loss, despite government campaigns and education programs. Food processing plants and fresh food handling stations regularly face hygiene challenges, which can lead to foodborne illnesses, great loss of PR and brand value devaluation. Â
