This simple act of hand hygiene is very effective at reducing the number of germs on the skin. What can you do? It's OK to Ask: As a patient, be an active participant in your health care team and help prevent the spread of infection. In fact hand hygiene should be performed by everyone - even visitors. Remember, It's OK to Ask. Every time hospital staff members or visitors enter your room, ask them to perform hand hygiene.
