The protocol used during manual observation showing time, bed number, information on professional group and what was touched for each manually observed event. The columns ‘HH performed’ indicate if HH was performed correctly (‘yes’) or incorrectly (‘no’) during the event before going to the first bed, between beds or after leaving the last bed according to the manual observation (Figure 2). The colours were added later when comparing each manually observed event with the corresponding EMS observation. The meaning of the colours is the same as is used in Table 1. EMS, electronic monitoring system; HH, hand hygiene.
