Highlights

  • Health care facilities are reluctant to do transition of hand hygiene products.

  • Transition of hand hygiene products can bring about significant benefits.

  • This report outlines key points of planning and implementing the transition.

This report summarizes our experiences planning and implementing the transition to a new commercial line of hand hygiene products and their dispensing systems in a large academic health care facility in Toronto, Canada. Our lessons learned are organized into a practical guide made available in 2 different formats: this article and an illustrated peer-to-peer guide (http://www.baycrest.org/wp-content/uploads/HCE-PROG-HH_HighQuality.pdf).
