Brief description Despite handwashing initiatives and the introduction of alcohol gels, cross-infection in hospitals remains a terrible risk for patients and creates a huge cost for health care funders. This study deploys a video-based technique called video reflexivity to alert frontline clinicians to the infection risks that are inherent in their every practice, educating them to become smarter about such risk.
