Infection Prevention

Every day, members of the healthcare community across a range of clinical care settings work to navigate unforeseen challenges. According to the most recent analysis through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)’s National Healthcare Safety Network, 1 in 31 hospitalized patients will contract a Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI), which threatens patient safety, causes increased length of stay, and significantly increases the cost-of-care delivery. Using a targeted approach to prevention, it is possible to reduce the incidence of these preventable infections, but it does require an ongoing and comprehensive approach. This dedicated website aims to provide the healthcare community with the most current evidence-based resources necessary to prevent these infections, protect patients and healthcare providers, and reduce mortality and morbidity.
