A secure web-based electronic tool was developed and implemented to record adherence to hand hygiene in the routine and to provide direct feedback including anonymised benchmarking. It was found suitable for documenting hand hygiene improvements in a local campaign and following rollout to other institutions in 2013, the tool is currently used in >100 hospitals in Switzerland and will play a major part in upcoming national hand hygiene campaigns.
