nosocomial
Depending on where your "health care" is. This is perhaps the correct term if related to hospital

contamination by hand
I think that manu is right in that they are specifically calling attention to the hand. However, I would use "risk of contamination by hand" instead of "risk of handborne transmission".
The point I was trying to make in my remark above was to compare the three in order to illustrate that "handborne" is not a term that is normally used in this context. I was using an analogy. *I'm not suggesting that the translation is in any way related to bloodborne or airborne transmission*.
"Airborne transmission" = 41,300 hits
"Bloodborne transmission" = 1,330
"Handborne transmission" = 7 hits (because this is not a typical term for this kind of transmission)
Also, compare "transmission by hand" (21,500 hits) to "handborne transmission" (7 hits). Or "contamination by hand" (28,800) to "handborne contamination" (1 hit).

: In the hospital where I worked, we were actually asked to make a video to show people how to wash their hands properly. Unbelievable!
