The influence of spatial configuration on the frequency of use of hand sanitizing stations in health care environments

The lack of user-friendly, accessible, and visible hand sanitizing stations (HSSs) in health care environments are significant factors affecting low hand hygiene compliance rates among caregivers.To determine whether the simulated parameters of visibility and global traffic flow score for an HSS can influence the frequency of use of that HSS.Space syntax was used to measure virtual simulation of spatial layouts of 3 units to provide quantitative...
