Not on my watch is a disease awareness effort from Kimberly-Clark to educate both the healthcare community and general public on the risks of Health-Associated infection (HAI). The program includes a web portal, a tour bus which features a mini-classroom to give accredited CHE/CME formations regarding HAI on-site and a PR microsite supplying information to media outlets about the program.

The HAI Watch health portal is a resource to help keep health organizations aware of the importance of health-associated infection prevention. The site sections include:

  • HAI issues (Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) / Surgical Site Infections (SSI) / Cross Contamination)
  • Tools (which is extensive with lists of guidelines and links to useful information)
  • Clinical Education (which offers accredited CHE programs)
  • News and events
  • AI champions (with feature stories and case studies)
  • Partners and organizations

Plus New HAI awareness tools are added on an ongoing basis.

haiwatchnews.com is a PR page set by Abraham & Harrison to inform medias about the problem and where to find multi-media materials to spread the word.

Also part of the program are two YouTube videos, the first one is about the program itself.

And the second YouTube video is about proper hand-washing to prevent infection and it’s produced by the CDC.
