Hand Hygiene PPM Roadmap

Access to the Hand Hygiene PPM is only available from the ABFM website and through your physician portfolio. You will need to access the Hand Hygiene module each time by continuing the module from your personal MC-FP Track Your Progress page. The use of bookmarks is not available with the Hand Hygiene module. Any attempt to access the Hand Hygiene PPM via a bookmark or other URL will result in access denied.

  • Prior to entering into the Hand Hygiene PPM you will need to choose the simulated patient population setting you wish to use during the activity. The simulated data will be provided for you in the module. You will click Outpatient if you would like to use data from a simulated outpatient setting, or Inpatient if you would like to use simulated inpatient data.
