Introducing Jeff Kline, Chief Executive Officer, HanGenix Solutions, joining the Summit from Atlanta, Georgia

HanGenix Solutions is a high-tech organization bringing together a novel, patent-protected technology, robust software and analytics, process improvement and change management practices to monitor and improve hand hygiene compliance.

HanGenix’ mission is to save thousands of lives while driving millions of dollars out of the healthcare system by helping healthcare facilities improve hand-hygiene compliance. By creating an "Alliance for Compliance," HanGenix is bringing together the best people, process, data, and technology to help organizations improve patient care, drive higher quality, and improve financial performance by reducing unnecessary infections.

HanGenix' unique technology goes beyond just monitoring compliance through the use of "patient protection zones," which provide a reminder to care givers prior to breaking compliance protocol and thus improving hand-hygiene compliance rates. The ultrasound platform allows for easy implementation, requiring no infrastructure investment, no IT integration, and no power consumption. As a result, healthcare facilities can achieve a quick payback on their investment while driving a very robust ROI.
