I had to laugh when you mentioned <we still have trouble getting medical people to wash their hands.> I had spies following me around and reporting on my hand washing techniques to multiple committees, and there was and is nobody in the world more fanatic about clean hands than me. But nobody ever thought about sinks. In order to wash your hands, you need a sink and it needs to be convenient. If you are literally making a over a dozen important decisions a minute, it is annoying to have to take 5 minutes out while dropping everything you are doing (which is multi tasking with little or no help from the computer) in order to climb over stretchers in overcrowded hallways to find a sink. And when you do find a sink, either you have to press a code to enter a heavy door or you have to interrupt another doctor or a nurse while they are treating some poor deathly ill patent-and not to mention that you are violating the patient's very privacy. So everybody wants the doctor to wash his hands a hundred times an hour but nobody wants to give him a sink to do it in.
