DebMed is the creator of an electronic hand hygiene compliance monitoring system based on the World Health Organization (WHO)'s "Five Moments for Hand Hygiene" and is now the only hand hygiene system that meets the WHO's "Save Lives: Clean Your Hands" recommendation. DebMed GMS encourages increased hand hygiene among hospital staff, thereby reducing the risk of spreading the flu virus and other infectious diseases between patients and improving patient safety and care.
