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.
