Abstract
We assessed hand hygiene adherence in 2 infectious disease units. In one unit, adherence declined slightly from year 1 (84.2\%) to year 4 (71.0\%) after a multimodal intervention but remained much higher than before intervention. Adherence dropped in the second unit after a loss of leadership (from 50.7\% to 5.7\%). Strong leadership presence may improve hand hygiene adherence.
