Description
本申请要求于2017年3月7日提交的美国临时申请第62/468,214号，所述美国临时申请以全文引用的方式并入本文中。
技术领域
本公开涉及手部卫生依从性的监测。
背景技术
尽管在手部卫生方面有所改善、有更严格的依从性要求并且努力优化隔离措施，但医院和其它医疗保健机构正在输掉关于医院内或医院获得性感染(HAI)的战争。医院获得性感染是由于除所述特异性感染之外的某种原因被接纳的患者在医院或其它医疗保健机构中获得的感染。医院获得性感染可以包含在入院后48小时或更久或者在出院后30天内出现的感染。医院获得性感染还可以包含由于定植的医疗保健工作者的传播引起的感染或者在机构的工作人员之间的职业接触感染。虽然大多数医院获得性感染是可预防的，但遗憾的是医院获得性感染的发病率只会增加。
随着抗生素耐药性的扩散，医院获得性感染已经变得更加泛滥。许多因素导致医院获得性感染在医院患者中的发生率增加。例如，医院容纳了大量生病的人并且因此免疫系统减弱。医务人员从病人转到病人并且每天看到许多病人，从而为病原体提供了扩散途径。研究表明，即使经过详尽的过程改进和培训工作，医疗保健工作者也只有40％的时间遵循手部卫生习惯。如手术、注射和其它侵入性程序等许多医疗程序绕过了身体的天然保护屏障，从而为病原体提供了入口点。抗生素的广泛使用促进了医疗保健机构以及社区中微生物的耐药菌株的出现。
依从手部卫生指南被认为是医疗保健工作者可以采取的用于减少医疗保健环境中的病原体传播的最有效措施。尽管如此，手部卫生依从性仍然很低，并且改善工作趋于缺乏可持续性。

具体实施方式
通常，本公开涉及监测手部卫生依从性的系统和关联过程。例如，手部卫生依从性系统可以监测、分析和报告在医院或其它医疗保健机构的手部卫生依从性。本公开描述了可以安装在现有的手部卫生产品分配器中以便向或从分配器提供手部卫生数据的无线通信的分配器信标模块。在一个实例中，手动分配器信标模块被配置成与手动致动的手部卫生产品分配器一起使用以监测与分配器相关联的手部卫生依从性事件，并且向或从手动分配器以无线方式发射手部卫生数据。在另一个实例中，非接触式分配器信标模块被配置成与非接触式手部卫生产品分配器一起使用以监测与分配器相关联的手部卫生依从性事件，并且向或从非接触式分配器以无线方式发射手部卫生数据。另外的分配器状态信息可以包含在分配器数据中，如分配器标识信息、医疗保健工作者标识信息、当前电池水平、产品瓶存在/不存在、分配器致动次数、产品用完指示(out-of-product indication)等。
本文所描述的手动分配器信标模块和非接触式分配器信标模块可以与以下中示出和描述的系统中的任何一个系统一起使用或者合并以下中示出和描述的特征中的任何一个特征：于2013年8月6日发布的美国专利第8,502,680号；于2013年3月12日发布的美国专利第8,395,515号；于2012年9月11日发布的美国专利第8,264,343号；于2013年10月22日发布的美国专利第8,564,431号；于2014年3月18日发布的美国专利第8,674,840号；于2013年7月9日发布的美国专利第8,482,406号；于2014年10月28日发布的美国专利第8,872,665号；于2014年7月22日发布的美国专利第8,783,511号；以及于2014年1月21日发布的美国专利第8,633,816号，所述美国专利中的每一个均以全文引用的方式并入本文中。
图1和图2分别示出了实例手动分配器信标模块10的前透视图和后透视图。手动分配器信标模块可以与手动致动的手部卫生产品分配器一起使用以监测与手动分配器相关联的手部卫生依从性事件，并且用于向或从手动分配器以无线方式发射手部卫生数据(包含关于所监测手部卫生事件的数据)。分配器信标模块10包含具有模块基座1和模块盖2的壳体7、致动滑块3、LED指示器4、锁定机构5、释放带6、电池隔室门8和固件接入端口12。模块基座1被配置成形成槽23，手动分配器致动器可以通过所述槽与致动滑块3接合(参见图5A)。
在一些实例中，手动分配器信标模块10被进一步配置成从一个或多个计算装置以无线方式发射和/或接收通信。例如，信标模块10可以从一个或多个计算装置接收远程软件更新、远程配置设置(例如，范围设置、产品清空设置、在应当再补充或替换产品瓶之前对多个分配事件的设置等)。信标模块10可以与医疗保健环境中的一个或多个其它信标模块如与其它分配器相关联的那些信标模块、与病房或其它限定区域中的运动检测器、与病房或其它限定区域中的患者区域、或与医疗保健环境中的可以用于监测手部卫生依从性的其它这种装置进一步通信。信标模块10可以被进一步配置成与一个或多个唯一指定的医疗保健工作者标识徽章以无线方式通信(发射和接收)。例如，信标模块10可以被配置成与徽章通信，从徽章获得医疗保健工作者标识信息并且将检测到的分配事件与医疗保健工作者标识信息相关联。
图3和图4示出了模块盖2被移除的实例手动分配器信标模块10的内部部件。在图3中，致动滑块3处于打开(静止或非致动)位置。在图4中，致动滑块3处于关闭(致动)位置。手动分配器信标模块10的内部部件包含PCB组合件15、致动滑块3和回位弹簧20、微型开关19以及电池隔室14。在这个实例中，电池隔室14被配置成收纳向PCB组合件15提供电力的2个AA电池。在其它实例中，手动分配器信标模块可以使用不同的电池供电或可以硬连线到建筑物的电气系统。
拉带6固定到模块基座1上并且提供用于将模块10从手动分配器移除(参见图5A)。PCB组合件15包含可以通过模块盖2中的孔9接入的范围调整按钮16(参见图2)。LED指示器4通过LED管18连接到PCB 15并且坐置于LED管18的远端22。如图5A所示，这允许LED指示器4通过手动分配器30的前盖暴露。在另一个实例中，如图5B所示的手动分配器信标模块10A不包含LED灯管或LED指示器。
当由用户按压推杆(参见参考号37，图5A和图5B)以分配产品时，推杆的机械移动通过致动滑块3和微型开关19转换成电信号，这发起了PCB组合件15的电子部件与信标模块的其它部件之间的通信顺序。致动滑块3包含平坦部28、弹簧接合部24和连接在平坦部28与弹簧接合部24之间的斜坡部26。开关19与PCB组合件15连接并通信。当致动滑块3静止时(图3)，开关19相对于斜坡部分26的较高端进行定位，从而使得开关9处于打开位置。当致动滑块3朝向关闭位置移动时(图4)，致动滑块3的斜坡部26在开关19之上移动，直到平坦部28定位在开关19之上，从而关闭开关19。开关19的这种闭合传送到分配器已经被致动的PCB组合件15。在致动滑块3朝向关闭位置移动时，回位弹簧27压缩。当分配器瓶子致动器34被释放时，回位弹簧27使致动滑块3返回到其静止位置(图3)。
图5A示出了实例手动分配器30和实例手动分配器信标模块10的分解视图。图5B示出了安装在手动分配器30中的实例手动分配器信标模块10的透视图。实例手动分配器30包含基座24、具有LED窗39的前盖38以及推杆37。推杆37卡扣到分配器盖38中。一旦手动分配器30组装成，推杆37就在铰链25上自由旋转。手动分配器30进一步包含被配置成收纳手动分配器信标模块10的壳体7的插座31。
手动分配器信标模块10被配置成检测用户对推杆37的致动以分配一定数量的手部卫生产品。手动分配器30包含包括卡扣到配对槽44中的滑块肋条43的瓶子致动器34。这些特征在分配器基座24的两侧是对称的。瓶子致动器34包含被配置成与模块10的槽23对准并且因此允许激活滑块3与模块接口柱33接合(图6)的槽32。瓶子致动器34包含其自身的回位弹簧(未示出)以使致动器34返回到其静止位置。
当手动分配器信标模块10安装在手动分配器30内时，即，当壳体7收纳在手动分配器30的插座31内时，致动滑块3由瓶子致动器34上的模块接口柱33致动。推杆提升肋条36抵靠瓶子致动器34上的提升轴颈35。当推杆37被用户致动时，提升肋条36向上压靠提升轴颈35，从而使瓶子致动器34升高到槽44中并且使模块接口柱33升高。接口柱33接合激活滑块3，从而将其提升以激活开关19并将指示分配器已被致动的致动信号发送到PCB组合件15上的处理器。
当模块10安装在分配器30中时(在这个实例中，当壳体7收纳在插座31内时)，模块侧锁定机构5在分配器侧锁定机制42处将模块10锁定到分配器基座24。另外，LED指示器4与分配器盖38上的灯管39对齐。指示器4是与用户的可视接口。PCB组合件15上的处理器(参见图15)从开关19接收致动信号并且每当检测到推杆37致动时使指示器4被照亮。一旦组装，为了移除模块10，在用户拉动释放带6的同时按压锁定机构5。这允许通过移除电池门8来接入电池。
手动分配器信标模块10进一步包含瓶子检测开关(或瓶子存在触发器)21。瓶子存在触发器21被配置成当产品瓶安装或收纳在手部卫生产品分配器中时被按下或移动到关闭位置。在这个实例中，瓶子存在触发器21使用柱塞开关或销钉开关实施；然而，应当理解，可以使用被配置成检测瓶子存在的任何其它类型的开关。当分配器30中未安装瓶子时，不按下(打开)瓶子存在触发器21。当手部卫生产品瓶安装在手动分配器30中时，产品瓶的颈部将按下瓶子存在触发器21。当瓶子存在触发器因此关闭时，开关21将瓶子安装在分配器中的瓶子存在信号传送到PCB组合件15并且因此传送到PCB组合件15上的处理器。当瓶子被移除时，瓶子存在触发器21返回到其打开位置，从而向PCB组合件61(以及因此其上的处理器)传达瓶子80已经被移除。瓶子存在或不存在的信息可以作为来自模块50的分配器数据的一部分与每个分配事件以及自瓶子替换以来的分配总数的计数一起传送。
包含如瓶子存在触发器21等产品瓶检测特征允许跟踪分配器中的手部卫生产品的替换，因此系统可以确定何时需要替换产品以及在适当的时间替换产品。例如，当产品瓶已经从分配器中取出时(例如，当开关打开时)可以记录时间/日期戳事件，并且当产品瓶已经被替换到分配器中时(例如，当开关关闭时)可以记录另一个事件。模块50或远程计算系统可以对自瓶子替换(例如，开关打开事件、随后是开关关闭事件)以来的分配数量进行计数，并且可以将事件数量倒计数到预定的替换“警报”水平。模块50或远程计算系统可以将瓶子替换时发生的分配事件的数量与预定警报水平进行比较，以确定产品瓶是否过早替换从而可能通过产品瓶的不完全清空浪费手部卫生产品。瓶子存在触发器21还允许模块50(或远程计算系统)和手部卫生依从性人员识别出何时在没有任何手部卫生产品的情况下使用分配器(例如，当检测到手部卫生产品分配器的致动但是瓶子存在开关未关闭时)。模块50或远程计算系统可以生成正在没有任何手部卫生产品的情况下使用手部卫生产品分配器的警报传送到手部卫生依从性人员，并且告知手部卫生依从性人员需要将产品安装在所述特定分配器中。
图7和图8分别示出了实例非接触式分配器信标模块50的前透视图和后透视图。非接触式分配器信标模块50被配置成与非接触式手部卫生产品分配器一起使用以监测与分配器相关联的手部卫生事件，并且向或从非接触式分配器50以无线方式发射手部卫生数据(包含关于所监测手部卫生事件的数据)。非接触式分配器信标模块50包含模块基座51、模块盖52、电池门53、系紧安装螺钉54、固件接入端口55、连接器57和瓶子存在触发器58(在这个实例中使用摇臂组合件来实施)。
在一些实例中，非接触式分配器信标模块50被进一步配置成从一个或多个计算装置以无线方式发射和/或接收通信。例如，信标模块50可以从一个或多个计算装置接收远程软件更新、远程配置设置(例如，范围设置、产品清空设置、在应当再补充或替换产品瓶之前对多个分配事件的设置等)。信标模块50可以与医疗保健环境中的一个或多个其它信标模块如与其它分配器相关联的那些信标模块、与病房或其它限定区域中的运动检测器、与病房或其它限定区域中的患者区域、或与医疗保健环境中的可以用于监测手部卫生依从性的其它这种装置进一步通信。信标模块50可以被进一步配置成与一个或多个唯一指定的医疗保健工作者标识徽章以无线方式通信(发射和接收)。例如，信标模块50可以被配置成与徽章通信，从徽章获得医疗保健工作者标识信息并且将检测到的分配事件与医疗保健工作者标识信息相关联。
图9和图10分别示出了模块盖52被移除的实例非接触式分配器信标模块50的前透视图和后透视图。非接触式分配器信标模块50包含电池外壳60、包含控制器(参见图16)的PCB组合件61、瓶子存在触发器58、瓶子检测微型开关65、摇杆回位弹簧66和连接器/摇杆固位器68。PCT组合件61包含两个天线，高频天线67A和低频线圈天线67B。范围按钮56通过模块盖52中的孔接入。在这个实例中，范围按钮56调整低频天线67A的范围。
电池外壳60连接到PCB组合件61并且向所述PCB组合件提供电力。在这个实例中，非接触式分配器信标模块50使用2个AA电池供电。然而，应当理解，可以使用其它装置向模块50供电，并且本公开在这方面不受限制。在其它实例中，手动分配器信标模块可以使用不同类型的电池供电、可以硬连线到建筑物的电气系统、可以从非接触式分配器的电池或控制器接收电力。
分配器/模块通信连接器57将PCB组合件61(以及因此非接触式分配器信标模块控制器)与非接触式分配器的控制器以通信方式耦合。
包含如瓶子存在触发器58等瓶子检测特征允许跟踪分配器中手部卫生产品的替换，因此信标模块150或者远程计算装置或系统可以确定何时需要替换手部卫生产品。例如，当取出产品瓶时可以记录时间/日期戳事件，并且当已经替换产品瓶时可以记录另一个时间/日期戳事件。模块或系统可以对自产品瓶替换以来的分配数量进行计数，并且可以将事件数量倒计数到预定的替换“警报”水平。瓶子存在触发器58还允许手部卫生依从性人员识别出何时在没有任何手部卫生产品的情况下使用分配器，使得在没有任何手部卫生产品的情况下使用分配器的可能性降低。通常，上文中关于手动手部卫生产品分配器的瓶子检测特征描述的部分或全部功能还可以通过非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的瓶子检测特征来实施。
图11A、图11B和图12-14示出了实例非接触式分配器70和非接触式分配器信标模块50的各部分的各个视图。非接触式分配器70包含基座71、盖73和包含通信连接器77的机电齿轮箱73。通信连接器77将非接触式分配器控制器(参见图16)与非接触式分配器信标模块控制器以通信方式耦合(参见图16)。非接触式分配器控制器管理非接触式分配器70的操作，并且包含指示非接触式分配器的致动的信号输出，所述信号输出经由连接器57/77的接口传送到非接触式分配器信标模块控制器，如图16所示。非接触式分配器70的基座71包含与非接触式模块50上的安装接收器62配对的安装凸台72。
当非接触式模块50安装在非接触式分配器70的基座71中时，如图11B和图12所示，非接触式信标模块50上的连接器57与非接触式分配器控制器的连接器77连接，从而允许分配器控制器和分配器信标模块50通信。安装螺钉74可以配合在配对安装凸台72上并且将非接触式模块50固定到非接触式分配器70。
当非接触式分配器70中未安装瓶子时，瓶子检测摇臂58由摇杆回位弹簧66弹簧加载，从而在模块盖52内部压缩。当系统处于静止时(即，分配器中未安装瓶子)，不按压瓶子检测微型开关65。当安装有瓶子30时(图13和图14)，产品瓶80的颈部按压摇臂58并使所述摇臂旋转，从而按下微型开关65。开关65向PCB组合件61传达瓶子被安装。当瓶子80移除时，摇臂58返回到其释放瓶子检测微型开关65的弹簧加载位置，从而向PCB组合件61传达瓶子80已经被移除。
图15是框图，展示了手动分配器信标模块100的电子部件的实例实施方案。在这个实例中，手动分配器信标模块100包含控制器101，所述控制器包含一个或多个处理器102和一个或多个存储装置/介质103。在一个实例中，处理器102被配置成实施用于在手动分配器信标模块100内执行的功能和/或处理指令。例如，处理器102可以执行存储在存储装置103中的指令。处理器102的实例可以包含以下中的任何一种或多种：微处理器、控制器、数字信号处理器(DSP)、专用集成电路(ASIC)、现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)或等效离散或集成逻辑电路系统，包含其它硬件处理器。
实例手动分配器信标模块100进一步包含一个或多个无线收发器104、范围调整按钮110、瓶子检测开关112、手动分配器致动开关114、电源116以及一个或多个听觉或视觉指示器118。
在一些实例中，手动分配器信标模块100的所述一个或多个无线收发器104被进一步配置成从一个或多个计算装置以无线方式发射和/或接收通信。例如，信标模块100可以从一个或多个计算装置接收远程软件更新、远程配置设置(例如，范围设置、产品清空设置、在应当再补充或替换产品瓶之前对多个分配事件的设置等)。信标模块100可以与医疗保健环境中的一个或多个其它信标模块如与其它分配器相关联的那些信标模块、与病房或其它限定区域中的运动检测器、与病房或其它限定区域中的患者区域、或与医疗保健环境中的可以用于监测手部卫生依从性的其它这种装置进一步通信。信标模块100可以被进一步配置成与一个或多个唯一指定的医疗保健工作者标识徽章以无线方式通信(发射和接收)。例如，信标模块100可以被配置成与徽章通信，从徽章获得医疗保健工作者标识信息并且将检测到的分配事件与医疗保健工作者标识信息相关联。
一个或多个存储装置103可以被配置成存储手动分配器信标模块控制器内的信息。在一些实例中，存储装置103可以被描述为计算机可读存储介质。在一些实例中，存储装置103是临时存储器，这意味着存储装置103的主要目的不是长期存储。在一些实例中，存储装置103可以被描述为易失性存储器，这意味着当计算机关闭时存储装置103不保持存储的内容。易失性存储器的实例包含随机存取存储器(RAM)、动态随机存取存储器(DRAM)、静态随机存取存储器(SRAM)和本领域中已知的其它形式的易失性存储器。在一些实例中，存储装置103用于存储如手动模块应用106等程序指令以供处理器102执行。在一个实例中，存储装置103被在控制器101上运行的软件或应用156用于在程序执行期间临时存储信息。
在一些实例中，存储装置103还包含一个或多个计算机可读存储介质。存储装置103可以被配置成存储比易失性存储器更大量的信息。存储装置103可以被进一步配置成长期存储信息。在一些实例中，存储装置103可以包含非易失性存储元件。这种非易失性存储元件的实例包含磁性闪存或者电可编程存储器(EPROM)或电可擦除可编程存储器(EEPROM)的形式。
一个或多个存储装置103可以存储如非触摸式模块应用156等程序指令以供处理器102执行。手动模块应用106包含当由处理器102执行时允许控制器101实施手动分配器信标模块功能的指令，如监测非手动式分配器处发生的分配事件、存储关于分配事件的分配器数据以及经由无线收发器104以无线方式发射(如附图标记105所示)分配器数据。分配器数据可以包含例如每个分配事件的分配器id、信标模块id以及时间和日期戳中的一个或多个。分配器数据还可以包含例如当前电池状态、在预定时间间隔期间或自上次再补充分配器以来发生的分配事件的总数、在分配器耗尽手部卫生产品之前剩余的分配数量、产品用完或低产品(low product)状态和/或其它分配器状态信息等。
一个或多个存储装置103可以存储由一个或多个处理器102在执行手动模块应用指令106期间生成或使用的各种数据(108)。例如，一个或多个存储装置可以生成并存储分配事件数据、信标模块标识信息、电池水平、瓶子检测/存在信息、范围信息或与手动分配器信标模块100相关联的其它数据。
实例手动分配器信标模块100例如从手动分配器致动开关114接收手动分配器致动的指示。开关114的一个实例实施方案是图3和图4的开关19。然而，应当理解，可以使用用于检测手动分配器的致动的其它实施方案和机构，并且本公开在这方面不受限制。控制器101可以将关于所接收指示的信息作为分配事件存储在数据存储108中。在一些实例中，控制器101可以将时间和日期戳、分配器标识信息和/或信标模块标识信息附加到分配事件数据。控制器101可以在接收到手动致动的每个指示后经由一个或多个无线收发器104以无线方式发射(如附图标记105所示)分配事件数据，或者可以定期地或根据需要以无线方式发射(如附图标记105所示)多个分配事件。在其它实例中，在不附加时间和日期戳的情况下从手动分配器致动接收到分配器致动的每个指示后，控制器101经由一个或多个无线收发器104以无线方式发射(如附图标记105所示)指示分配事件的分配器数据。被配置成从医疗保健或其它机构内的多个手动和/或非接触式分配器信标模块接收分配器数据的计算装置可以将每个分配事件与时间和日期戳相关联并且可以分析分配事件数据以监测机构内的手部卫生。
当信标模块100安装在手部卫生产品分配器中并且瓶子安装到分配器中时，瓶子检测开关112(如图1和图5中的开关21)被按下(关闭)并且开关112生成瓶子存在信号，所述瓶子存在信号进而由信标模块控制器101接收。只要产品瓶保持安装在分配器中，开关112就会保持关闭并且信标模块控制器101就可以将瓶子存在信息存储在数据存储108中。如果瓶子被移除，则开关112将返回到静止(打开)状态并且瓶子存在信号将不再存在。信标模块控制器101可以将无瓶子存在的信息存储在数据存储108中。手动信标模块应用106可以使一个或多个处理器103确定每次分配事件发生时分配器中是否存在瓶子，并且可以在每次分配事件发生时以无线方式发射瓶子存在信息作为分配器数据的一部分。以此方式，可以通知用户手部卫生产品是否实际上安装在分配器中，并且如果分配器数据指示无瓶子存在，则用户可以采取补救措施(用产品瓶再补充分配器)。
图16是框图，展示了非接触式分配器信标模块150的实例实施方案。在这个实例中，非接触式分配器信标模块150进一步包含控制器151，所述控制器包含一个或多个处理器152和一个或多个存储装置/介质153。在一个实例中，处理器152被配置成实施用于在非接触式分配器信标模块150内执行的功能和/或处理指令。例如，处理器152可以能够处理存储在存储装置153中的指令。处理器152的实例可以包含以下中的任何一种或多种：微处理器、控制器、数字信号处理器(DSP)、专用集成电路(ASIC)、现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)或等效离散或集成逻辑电路系统，包含其它硬件处理器。
实例非接触式分配器信标模块150进一步包含一个或多个无线收发器154、范围调整按钮160、瓶子检测开关162、电源166以及一个或多个听觉或视觉指示器168。
在一些实例中，非接触式分配器信标模块150的所述一个或多个无线收发器154被进一步配置成从一个或多个计算装置以无线方式发射和/或接收通信。例如，信标模块150可以从一个或多个计算装置接收远程软件更新、远程配置设置(例如，范围设置、产品清空设置、在应当再补充或替换产品瓶之前对多个分配事件的设置等)。信标模块150可以与医疗保健环境中的一个或多个其它信标模块如与其它分配器相关联的那些信标模块、与病房或其它限定区域中的运动检测器、与病房或其它限定区域中的患者区域、或与医疗保健环境中的可以用于监测手部卫生依从性的其它这种装置进一步通信。信标模块150可以被进一步配置成与一个或多个唯一指定的医疗保健工作者标识徽章以无线方式通信(发射和接收)。例如，信标模块150可以被配置成与徽章通信，从徽章获得医疗保健工作者标识信息并且将检测到的分配事件与医疗保健工作者标识信息相关联。
一个或多个存储装置153可以被配置成存储在非接触式分配器信标模块控制器内的信息。在一些实例中，存储装置153可以被描述为计算机可读存储介质。在一些实例中，存储装置153是临时存储器，这意味着存储装置153的主要目的不是长期存储。在一些实例中，存储装置153可以被描述为易失性存储器，这意味着当计算机关闭时存储装置153不保持存储的内容。易失性存储器的实例包含随机存取存储器(RAM)、动态随机存取存储器(DRAM)、静态随机存取存储器(SRAM)和本领域中已知的其它形式的易失性存储器。在一些实例中，存储装置153用于存储如非接触式模块应用156等程序指令以供处理器152执行。在一个实例中，存储装置153被在控制器151上运行的软件或应用156用于在程序执行期间临时存储信息。
在一些实例中，存储装置153还包含一个或多个计算机可读存储介质。存储装置153可以被配置成存储比易失性存储器更大量的信息。存储装置153可以被进一步配置成长期存储信息。在一些实例中，存储装置153可以包含非易失性存储元件。这种非易失性存储元件的实例包含磁性闪存或者电可编程存储器(EPROM)或电可擦除可编程存储器(EEPROM)的形式。
一个或多个存储装置153可以存储程序指令、非接触式模块应用156，以供处理器152执行。非接触式模块应用156包含当由处理器152执行时允许控制器151实施非接触式分配器信标模块功能的指令，如监测非接触式分配器处发生的分配事件、存储关于分配事件的分配器数据以及经由无线收发器154以无线方式发射分配器数据。分配器数据可以包含例如每个分配事件的分配器id、信标模块id以及时间和日期戳中的一个或多个。分配器数据可以进一步包含例如当前电池状态、自预定时间间隔以来或自上次再补充分配器以来发生的分配事件的总数、在分配器耗尽手部卫生产品之前剩余的分配数量、产品用完或低产品状态和/或其它分配器状态信息等。
一个或多个存储装置153可以存储由一个或多个处理器152在执行非接触式模块应用指令156期间生成或使用的各种数据(158)。例如，一个或多个存储装置可以生成并存储分配事件数据、信标模块标识信息、电池水平、瓶子检测数据、范围信息或与非接触式分配器信标模块150相关联的其它数据。
实例非接触式分配器信标模块150经由一个或多个通信链路171与非接触式分配器模块170电子通信。非接触式分配器模块170包含执行存储在一个或多个存储装置173上的指令以管理和控制如非接触式分配器70等非接触式分配器的操作的非接触式分配器控制器171。分配器控制器171包含一个或多个处理器172和一个或多个存储装置173。存储在存储介质173中的非接触式分配器应用176包含当由处理器172执行时实施对非接触式分配器的功能的控制的指令。存储装置173可以进一步包含在执行非接触式分配器应用176期间使用或生成的数据178。
非接触式分配器模块170进一步包含感测非接触式分配器的致动并生成进而由控制器171接收的对应致动信号的致动传感器182。致动传感器182可以包含例如光断路器、红外传感器、光学传感器、运动传感器或用于检测用户手部的存在的其它无接触或非接触式机构中的一种或多种。非接触式分配器170进一步包含分配器电机184，所述分配器电机在接收到致动信号后由控制器171激活，从而使标准化剂量的手部卫生产品从非接触式分配器分配。
一个或多个通信链路173可以经由连接器57/77实施在图11和图12的实例中。以此方式，信标模块150的控制器151例如经由一个或多个通信链路173从非接触式分配器控制器171接收非接触式分配器致动的指示。控制器151可以将关于所接收指示的信息存储为分配事件。在一些实例中，控制器151可以将时间和日期戳、分配器标识信息和/或信标模块标识信息附加到分配事件数据。控制器151可以在接收到手动致动的每个指示后经由无线收发器154以无线方式发射(如附图标记155所示)分配事件数据，或者可以定期地或根据需要以无线方式发射(如附图标记155所示)多个分配事件。在其它实例中，在不附加时间和日期戳的情况下从非接触式分配器控制器接收到分配器致动的每个指示后，控制器151经由无线收发器154以无线方式发射(如附图标记155所示)指示分配事件的分配器数据。被配置成从医疗保健或其它机构内的多个手动和/或非接触式分配器信标模块接收分配器数据的计算装置可以将每个分配事件与时间和日期戳相关联并且可以分析分配事件数据以监测机构内的手部卫生。
电源166以虚线的方式指示，以指示信标模块150电力可以可替代地从非接触式分配器模块170供电。在这种实例中，代替具有专用电池/电源166，非接触式分配器信标模块150可以被配置成从非接触式分配器70接收电力。例如，控制器151可以经由一个或多个通信链路173从非接触式分配器控制器170接收电力。这可以减小非接触式分配器信标模块150的整体物理大小，因为不需要将非接触式分配器信标模块的大小设定为容置壳体内的一个或多个电池。例如，图7-11所示的分配器信标模块50的壳体的物理大小和配置可以因此设计成没有电池隔室60或电池盖53，从而减小了信标模块50的整体外部大小并且可能使其更容易配合在非接触式分配器的壳体内。
在一些实例中，具有其自身内部电池会是非接触式分配器信标模块的优点。每次分配器激活时，在电池上施加负载。在电池接近其寿命终点时，电池的内部电阻增加并且负载将使电池电压显著“下垂(droop)”。如果非接触式分配器信标模块由分配器的电池供电，并且如果电池电压下垂到非接触式信标模块控制器的重置电压阈值以下，则非接触式信标模块控制器将保持重置，直到电池电压恢复到高于重置阈值以上的点。电池电压恢复会花费足够长的时间来延迟徽章通信，直到分配周期结束。电池电压恢复还会花费这样长的时间以致于激活分配器的用户在非接触式信标模块控制器退出重置并且可以与所述用户的徽章通信之前已经离开分配器的区域。结果会是用户的徽章尚未设置为干净卫生状态并且未报告事件。然而，如果非接触式信标模块具有其自己的电池，则非接触式信标模块在激活期间不受分配器电池的电压下垂影响，并且徽章通信更有可能发生在分配周期开始时。
另一个益处可以是具有自己的电池的非接触式信标模块将不会减少分配器电池的寿命，从而允许分配器满足规定的电池寿命预期。而且，非接触式信标模块可以包含监测分配器电池的水平以及其自身电池的能力。非接触式信标模块可以能够报告分配器电池的水平，即使分配器电池的电压已经降到不允许非接触式信标模块在已经使用分配器电池供电的情况下起作用的水平。
在一些实例中，多个手动分配器信标模块100和/或非接触式分配器信标模块150可以用于监测医疗保健环境或其中期望手部卫生依从性监测的其它环境中的手部卫生依从性。例如，模块化手部卫生依从性系统可以适于用于如以下等应用：酒店房间清洁、教育设施、长期护理、餐馆、食品服务、食品和饮料设施、食品包装、饮食区、休息室、食物准备区、烹饪区等。
在这种系统中，每个医疗保健工作者(HCW)被指定与HCW唯一相关联的依从性徽章。每次HCW从具有手动信标模块100或非接触式信标模块150的手动分配器或非接触式分配器中的一个分配手部卫生产品时，对应的信标模块100/150可以与HCW徽章通信、从徽章接收HCW标识信息并且将HCW标识信息与分配事件相关联。表1中示出了在分配器每次致动时存储和/或以无线方式发射的实例分配器数据：
表1：具有HCW徽章ID的实例分配器数据
| 分配器ID | 12345678 |
| 分配事件 | 是 |
| 时间和日期 | 2015年3月6日12:36:15 |
| 徽章ID | 9876543AB |
| 瓶子存在 | 是 |
| 瓶子水平 | 92％ |
| 范围设置 | 2 |
| 自上次产品再补充以来的分配事件计数 | 78 |
| 直到产品用完/再补充为止剩余的分配 | 547 |
在其它实例(如信标模块不与id徽章通信的那些实例)中，分配器数据可以仅包含分配事件的指示和瓶子存在的指示(是或否)。在其它实例中，代替当前电池水平或除了当前电池水平之外，分配器数据可以包含有效电池电压的指示。在其它实例中，分配器数据可以包含表1中列出的实例分配器数据中的任何一个或所有实例分配器数据和/或其它分配器数据。每次通过手动信标模块或非接触式信标模块的瓶子存在触发器检测到产品瓶移除/替换时，可以重置自上次产品再补充以来的分配事件计数。
图17是实例手部卫生依从性监测系统200的框图。如医院210A-210N等多个医疗保健机构各自包含多个手动手部卫生产品分配器202A-202N和/或多个非接触式手部卫生产品分配器206A-206N。为了简化说明，这些关于医院210A示出。所述多个手动分配器202A-202N中的每一个手动分配器与提供分配器数据的无线发射的多个手动分配器信标模块204A-204N中的一个不同的手动分配器相关联。类似地，所述多个非接触式分配器206A-206N中的每一个非接触式分配器与提供分配器数据的无线发射的多个非接触式分配器信标模块208A-208N中的一个不同的非接触式分配器相关联。
分配器信标模块203A-204N和208A-208N经由一个或多个本地网络214将其各自的分配器数据以无线方式发射到一个或多个本地计算装置220。在信标模块在每个分配事件发生时发射分配器数据并且在分配器数据中不包含时间和日期戳的实例中，本地计算装置将时间和日期戳与分配事件相关联。
在一些实例中，如图17所示的实例，手部卫生依从性监测系统200包含HCW徽章212A-212N。因此，在这个实例中，由信标模块204A-204N和/或208A-208N发射的分配器数据可以包含从徽章212A-212N接收的HCW标识信息。
为了监测手部卫生依从性，来自所述多个分配器信标模块100/150的分配器数据被以无线方式发射到位于医疗保健机构内的一个或多个本地计算装置220和/或发射到一个或多个远程计算装置230以进行数据分析和报告。如图17所示，例如，计算装置230可以包含一个或多个处理器232、分析应用234、报告应用236和存储由系统200使用或生成的必要数据的数据库238。分析应用234在由处理器232执行时根据一个或多个依从性规则分析手部卫生数据，以便监测与医疗保健机构的手部卫生依从性。报告应用236在由处理器232执行时生成关于手部卫生依从性的报告。例如，计算装置230可以分析手部卫生数据以便通过个别HCW、HCW类型(例如，护士、医生、环境服务(EVS)等)、部门、部门类型、个别医院、医院类型、跨多个医院或通过各种其它所选参数来监测手部卫生依从性。计算装置230可以生成各种报告，以便向每个医院210A-210N本地的用户或远程用户226提供关于其医院的手部卫生依从性的定性和定量数据、随时间推移对数据进行比较以确定改善是否已经发生、和/或在一家医院、多家医院对手部卫生依从性进行基准测试、或随时间推移查看和比较手部卫生依从性。分析和报告应用还可以本地存储在医院计算装置220上，使得如果需要，则可以在本地完成手部卫生数据的分析和报告。
图18是流程图，展示了如信标模块100等手动分配器信标模块可以检测手动手部卫生产品分配器的手动致动并且以无线方式发射与分配事件相关联的分配器数据的实例过程(240)。信标模块100接收指示手动手部卫生产品分配器的致动的分配器致动信号(242)。致动信号可以从例如被配置成检测手动手部卫生产品分配器的手动致动的开关接收，如图3和图4的开关19和/或图15的开关114。
信标模块100可以进一步确定另外的分配器状态信息(244)。例如，信标模块100可以确定当前电池水平、手动分配器中是否存在瓶子，可以递增分配数量的计数，可以确定在需要替换或再补充产品瓶之前剩余的分配数量等。然后，信标模块100以无线方式发射分配事件数据(246)。
图19是流程图，展示了如信标模块100等手动分配器信标模块可以检测手动手部卫生产品分配器的手动致动并且以无线方式发射与分配事件相关联的分配器数据的另一个实例过程(250)。信标模块100接收指示手动手部卫生产品分配器的致动的分配器致动信号(252)。致动信号可以从例如被配置成检测手动手部卫生产品分配器的手动致动的开关接收，如图3和图4的开关19和/或图15的开关114。在这个实例中，信标模块控制器100然后可以在分配器的范围内查找任何HCW ID徽章信号(254)。例如，信标模块控制器上的无线收发器可以具有0-1米的初始范围或有助于确保仅检测到与发起分配事件的HCW相关联的HCWID徽章而非另一个附近的HCW id标签的其它某个适当的距离。
如果在预定义的时间段(如例如0.5秒、1秒、2秒、5秒或其它适当的时间间隔)内检测到HCW ID徽章信号(256)，则信标模块100将分配事件与检测到的HCW标识信息相关联(258)。如果在预定义的时间段内未检测到HCW ID徽章信号，则信标模块100将分配事件与非HCW标识信息相关联(260)。
信标模块100可以进一步确定另外的分配器状态信息(262)。例如，信标模块100可以确定当前电池水平、手动分配器中是否存在瓶子，可以递增分配数量的计数，可以确定在需要替换或再补充产品瓶之前剩余的分配数量等。然后，信标模块100以无线方式发射分配事件数据(264)。
图20是流程图，展示了如信标模块150等非接触式分配器信标模块可以检测非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的致动并且以无线方式发射与分配事件相关联的分配器数据的实例过程(300)。信标模块150接收指示非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的致动的分配器致动信号(302)。致动信号可以从例如非接触式分配器模块(如图16的非接触式分配器模块170)接收，所述非接触式分配器模块控制非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的操作并且因此检测非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的致动。
信标模块150可以进一步确定另外的分配器状态信息(304)。例如，信标模块150可以确定当前电池水平、手动分配器中是否存在瓶子，可以递增分配数量的计数，可以确定在需要替换或再补充产品瓶之前剩余的分配数量等。然后，信标模块150以无线方式发射分配事件数据(306)。
图21是流程图，展示了如信标模块150等非接触式分配器信标模块可以检测非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的致动并且以无线方式发射与分配事件相关联的分配器数据的另一个实例过程(310)。信标模块150接收指示非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的致动的分配器致动信号(312)。致动信号可以从例如非接触式分配器模块(如图16的非接触式分配器模块170)接收，所述非接触式分配器模块控制非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的操作并且因此检测非接触式手部卫生产品分配器的致动。
在这个实例中，信标模块控制器150然后可以在分配器的范围内查找任何HCW ID徽章信号(316)。例如，信标模块控制器上的无线收发器可以具有0-1米的初始范围或有助于确保仅检测到与发起分配事件的HCW相关联的HCW ID徽章而非另一个附近的HCW id标签的其它某个适当的距离。
如果在预定义的时间段(如例如0.5秒、1秒、2秒、5秒或其它适当的时间间隔)内检测到HCW ID徽章信号(316)，则信标模块100将分配事件与检测到的HCW标识信息相关联(318)。如果在预定义的时间段内未检测到HCW ID徽章信号，则信标模块150将分配事件与非HCW标识信息相关联(320)。
信标模块150可以进一步确定另外的分配器状态信息(322)。例如，信标模块150可以确定当前电池水平、手动分配器中是否存在瓶子，可以递增分配数量的计数，可以确定在需要替换或再补充产品瓶之前剩余的分配数量等。然后，信标模块150以无线方式发射分配事件数据(324)。
