    The correct practice of hand hygiene is a vital mechanism to avoid HAIs. The patient safety policy includes the hand washing protocol as a technique to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with these infections. The objective was to evaluate the knowledge and application of the hand-washing protocol by the health personnel on a third level hospitalization service in Bucaramanga, during September and November 2017. This study is qualitative descriptive observational developed in two phases with convenience sample, with prior informed consent, the compliance of the hand washing protocol of the health personnel (doctors, professional nurses and nursing assistants) was evaluated in a hospitalization service of a third level institution. The instrument used was the institution's hand washing protocol check list. The results showed non-compliance to hand washing protocol; this application is independent to health personnel profession according to the chi square test. It was evident that compliance factor is linked to the awareness of health personnel rather than physical factors for its realization. Study participants received training on the clinical hand washing protocol, allowing them to be updated. The development of security rounds allowed health personnel to discover faults when applying the protocol. It is recommended to adapt the checklist of the institution to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) to audit the handwashing protocol process and design a program to improve adherence.
