Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Intervention Group: In addition to the current educational document available for CHG bathing, patients in the intervention group would be provided access to a CHG bathing video through multiple avenues (QR codes placed in the room/unit, video provided on unit iPads). Nurses will be instructed to provide QR codes to patients to scan and watch the video. Patients can scan the QR code using their own smart device or through unit-based iPads. After viewing the video, there is another QR code to scan that goes to a short patient survey.
Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Control Group: Patients in the control group would have access to the current education available (patient education document) - usual care
