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.
