Education for Moment 1
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 1

HH Moment 1 should be performed prior


to touching the patient
– Only record Moment 1 once the HCW
touches the patient

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW walks in,


helps the patient to sit up,
moves the over bed table,
folds down the sheets,
moves the chair into position,
then gets the patient out of bed

• Moment 1 – prior to touching patient

www.hha.org.au
Moment 2
Before a Procedure

www.hha.org.au
Procedure

Is an act of care for a patient where


there is a risk of direct introduction of
a pathogen into the patient’s body.

www.hha.org.au

www.hha.org.au
Education for Moment 2
When

• Hand Hygiene immediately prior to a procedure


– Once Hand Hygiene has been done, nothing else in
the patient’s environment should be touched prior to
the procedure starting
Why

• To protect the patient from harmful germs


(including their own) from entering their body
during a procedure

www.hha.org.au
Rule for Auditing
Moment 2

HH Moment 2 must be performed


immediately prior to any procedure

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW replaces an empty IV fluid bag


with a new IV fluid bag

• Moment 2 – prior to disconnecting the IV line

www.hha.org.au
Moment 3
After a Procedure or Body Fluid
Exposure Risk

www.hha.org.au
Body Fluid Exposure Risk

Any situation where contact with body fluids


may occur. Such contact may pose a
contamination risk to either the HCW or the
environment

www.hha.org.au
Actual or potential contact
with:
• Blood, Lochia
• Saliva or tears
• Mucous, wax, or pus
• Breast milk, Colostrum

pathology samples, Cleaning dentures,
Cleaning spills of body fluid from patient
surroundings, After touching the outside
of a drain

www.hha.org.au
Education for Moment 3
When

• Hand Hygiene immediately after a


procedure or a body fluid exposure risk
– As hands are likely to be contaminated with
body fluid

Why

• To protect yourself and the healthcare


surroundings from harmful patient germs
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

www.hha.org.au
Rule for Auditing
Moment 3

• Moment 3 will usually be paired with a Moment


2 except that:
– Moment 3 may be recorded as a stand alone HH
Moment when there is a body fluid exposure risk, but
the HCW has not touched the patient
• Cleaning up a spill of vomit, urine or faeces
• Moving pathology specimens
• Moving items contaminated with body fluids
– Sputum cup, urinal bottle, incontinence pad / nappy

www.hha.org.au

www.hha.org.au
Education for Moment 4
When

• Hand Hygiene after touching a patient


– This completes the education of Hand Hygiene
before you enter the patient room, and before you
leave the patient room

Why

• To protect yourself and the healthcare


surroundings from harmful patient germs

www.hha.org.au
Rules for Auditing
Moment 4
• HH Moment 4 should be performed after touching
the patient
• Moment 4 will usually be proceeded by a Moment 1
• Touching the patient surroundings after touching
the patient is recorded as a single Moment 4.
• If after a Moment 3 there is touching of the patient
surroundings, this is recorded as a Moment 4

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW walks in,


helps the patient to sit up,
folds down the sheets,
moves the chair into position,
then gets the patient out of bed,
then leaves the room

• Moment 1 – prior to touching patient


• Moment 4 – after touching the patient

www.hha.org.au
Moment 5

been touched Bedside locker, Call bell/TV remote
control, Light switches, Personal
belongings, Chair, Foot stool, Monkey bar

www.hha.org.au
Education for Moment 5
When

• Hand hygiene after touching the patient’s


surroundings

Why

• To protect yourself and the healthcare


surroundings from harmful patient germs

www.hha.org.au
Rule for Auditing
Moment 5
• HH Moment 5 is performed when there has
been no touching of the patient but there has
been touching of the patient’s immediate
surroundings

• When multiple items in the patient surroundings


are touched, only one Moment 5 is recorded

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW walks into patient room,


moves the over bed table closer to the patient,
then leaves

• Moment 5 – after touching the patient surroundings


(without touching the patient)

If patient had been touched, then this would have been


recorded as:
• Moment 1 and Moment 4

www.hha.org.au
Note 1
• Generally for every “before” Moment there should
be an “after” Moment recorded
– 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
Example:

HCW walks in,


picks up drain bottle to view it, puts it down,
writes on the medical chart, then leaves

• Moment 1 – prior to touching the drain (patient)


• Moment 3 – after drain (body fluid exposure risk)
• Moment 4 – after chart (continuum of patient care)

www.hha.org.au
Note 2

• For every procedure there should be a


Moment 2 and Moment 3 recorded

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW checks blood glucose level of patient

• Moment 2 – Immediately prior to pricking finger


with lancet
• Moment 3 – Immediately after disposing of
sample strip & used lancet, prior to touching
anything else

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

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW walks in and


touches the patient on the shoulder without
being observed to perform hand hygiene

• Moment 1 – before touching the patient


• HH action missed

www.hha.org.au
Note 4
• No “before” Moment can be recorded if
auditing commences after a HCW is
already touching a patient, or in the
process of performing a procedure.

• No “after” Moment can be recorded unless


the Moment is observed.

www.hha.org.au
Example:

Observation commences whilst HCW is


emptying IDC drainage bag. The HCW then
leaves the room to dispose of the urine in
panroom

• No Moment can be recorded as the start


of the procedure and the end of the
procedure/body fluid exposure risk have
not been observed.

www.hha.org.au
Note 5
• Patient bed curtains are outside the patient
zone and are frequently contaminated
• Touching the curtains is considered to be
leaving the patient zone
• HH should be performed between touching
the curtains and touching the patient

www.hha.org.au
Example:

HCW walks into patient room opens the


curtains up, then walks out

• No Moment - as the curtain is outside the


patient zone

www.hha.org.au
“Bonus” Moments
• The Aussie 5 Moments audit tool rewards
staff who clean their hands at the most
important times
Eg1. Moving between patients
One HH is recorded as two Moments – M4 and M1

Eg2. Moving from touching a patient to doing a


procedure
One HH is recorded as two Moments – M4 and M2 and
vice versa M3 and M1
