Direct observation is the way to go. It's like the old saying, 'Seeing is believing.' Or in this case, 'Seeing is hand-hygiene-believing.'

Bacterial hand cultures? Come on, do we really need to go full-on microbiology lab to check if people are washing their hands? That's overkill.

A 98% passing score on a test? That's just setting the bar way too high. Hand hygiene is important, but let's be realistic here.

Calculating infection rates compared to a baseline could work, but it might not give you a clear picture of the hand hygiene practices. It's more of an indirect measure.

Direct observation of staff seems like the best way to evaluate hand hygiene compliance. You can actually see if they're following the guidelines in real-time.
