Look Back

        For the past several weeks in Bloomington Cove, the Just Clean Your Hands (JCYH) project has been my major priority. The Director of Care (DOC) and the Assistant Director of Care (ADOC) was very helpful and supportive. They have given my colleague and me guidance throughout the project, helped us ordered supplies for our project, looking into the history of home to give us information, and even reach out to the community to find us materials that we needed for our presentation.

I truly believe that if even one person has been positively influenced or changed, I have already done my job right. Now that the presentation is over, all there is left to do is to evaluate the outcome and the effectiveness of the JCYH project.

Analyze the Outcome

        Evaluating the outcome is the truth moment that allows me to see if what I was doing throughout the whole semester is worth it or not. Knowing that the semester is getting towards to the end, I do not believe that there is enough time for me to plan another session to improve staff's hand-hygiene practices. Plus I still have to evaluate the effectiveness of my presentation which will take at least two weeks of observation. My partner and I have done five hours of observation today and the result is quite shocking. We have not yet ...
