HAI Prevention and Control for Healthcare CDC resources and information on infection control in outpatient healthcare settings.
The Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program in the California Department of Public Health Center for Health Care Quality oversees the prevention, surveillance, reporting, and response to HAIs and antimicrobial resistance (AR) in California's hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are a threat to patient safety and a top priority for the Department of Health and Human Services.
Patients may acquire a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions in any care setting, including hospitals, same-day surgery centers, outpatient clinics and long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities.
HAIs are infections people can get while receiving medical care in any health care setting. HAIs can be associated with procedures such as surgery and devices like catheters or ventilators. Many HAIs can be prevented by implementing proven best practices.
Health care-associated infection (HAI), also referred to as "nosocomial" or "hospital" infection, is an infection occurring in a patient during the process of care in a hospital or other health care facility which was not present or incubating at the time of admission.
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections acquired while receiving medical care. HAIs occur in all health care settings including acute care, ambulatory surgical centers, outpatient clinics, long-term care, long-term acute care, and rehabilitation facilities.
Healthcare–associated infections (HAIs) are among the most common complications of hospital care. More than one million HAIs occur across the United States healthcare system every year.
Health care-associated infections (HAIs), are acquired while patients are receiving treatment for another condition in a health care setting.
