The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) recommends annual practical training in hand disinfection for all employees. But which method is more economically viable: the traditional UV method or the innovative DesiCoach\u00ae system?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at both systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The classic method: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The UV method under the microscope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hands are rubbed with a fluorescent solution and examined under a black light \u2013 weak spots become visible. This is an established procedure, no question. But how efficient is it when it comes to training entire teams?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The material costs:<\/strong> The cost per person is approximately \u20ac0.27. For 20 people, e.g., as part of the annual hygiene training, this amounts to \u20ac5.40. (We assume that a UV box is already in place and will not incur any additional costs for repairs or replacement parts\u2014the ideal scenario, so to speak.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The key point is time:<\/strong> During the training, each person must go to the UV box one-on-one. Everyone else has to wait. With a typical group size of 20 people, the time required quickly adds up: our analysis shows a time requirement of approximately 15 minutes<\/strong> for the entire group, just for this one check. Valuable minutes while the rest of the team waits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      The innovative alternative: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      The DesiCoach method<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      DesiCoach\u00ae takes a different approach. Instead of 1:1 support, the system enables several people at the same time<\/strong> to train under central supervision. The result? A drastic time saving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • The material costs:<\/strong> The cost here is \u20ac2.00 per person, so \u20ac40.00 for our example group of 20 people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Turbo training:<\/strong> The same group of 20 people with DesiCoach only needs about 5 minutes<\/strong> for two practical applications (training with a dye and a decolorizer). This is not only 10 minutes less than with the UV method, but also twice as many opportunities to optimize your own hygiene technique!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Direct cost comparison: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Difference in time required \u2192<\/em> <\/strong>The UV method requires 10 minutes<\/strong> more time.
          Difference in material costs<\/strong> \u2192<\/em> <\/em>DesiCoach\u00ae is per training unit 34,60 \u20ac<\/strong> more expensive. 
          Result<\/strong> \u2192<\/em> From a salary of more than 10,39 \u20ac<\/strong> DesiCoach\u00ae is cheaper per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/div>\n\n\n\n

          How valuable is your team\u2019s time?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Considering only the material costs, the UV method seems cheaper \u2013 at least if you already own a UV lamp. But that's only part of the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The Time savings of 10 minutes<\/strong> <\/strong>per training<\/strong> with DesiCoach\u00ae means for a group of 20 people a Total saving of 200 minutes<\/strong> \u2013 that\u2019s 3.33 hours of work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Important time that we can use...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Freed-up time can be spent on value-adding activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Overtime is an important cost factor and places additional strain on staff.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            <\/div>\n\n\n\n

            So when does the relationship between material costs and time expenditure tip?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            In order to calculate which training method is actually financially worthwhile, we need to hourly wage<\/strong> regard: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            If we divide the additional costs for DesiCoach\u00ae (34.60 \u20ac) by the saved working hours (3.33 hours), we get 10.39 \u20ac per hour<\/strong>If your team earns more than that on average, the time factor becomes crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/div>\n\n\n\n

            Conclusion<\/strong> \u2192<\/em> Does your team earn on average more than 10,39 \u20ac<\/strong> per hour? Then DesiCoach\u00ae is the most cost-effective method!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/div>\n\n\n\n

            Didactics and handling:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            Additional benefits of DesiCoach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Of course, cost-effectiveness is only one aspect \u2013 DesiCoach\u00ae offers other decisive advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Didactically more modern:<\/strong> Through the double application (dyeing, decolorizing) identified problem areas can be trained immediately<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Easier handling:<\/strong> No technical equipment required, can be used simultaneously<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Higher participant acceptance:<\/strong> No frustrating waiting times, more fun training<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Resource-saving:<\/strong> Long durability and full use of materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              <\/div>\n\n\n\n

              Conclusion: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              <\/div>\n\n\n\n

              DesiCoach for future-oriented institutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Choosing DesiCoach\u00ae is not only a decision for economic efficiency, but also for modern training methods. The initially higher material costs are already amortized at an average hourly rate of \u20ac10.39 \u2013 a figure that is usually significantly exceeded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              With DesiCoach\u00ae, you invest in efficient training, increased employee satisfaction, and ultimately, better infection control. A future-oriented solution that pays off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Try it out and see for yourself the benefits of this innovative training method!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
