HAIs are among the ten leading causes of death in the U.S., accounting for an estimated 1.7 million infections and 99,000 associated deaths each year. They incur more than $20 billion in excess healthcare costs annually.

“Infection prevention departments at our nation’s healthcare facilities are severely under-staffed and under-resourced. Without enough trained professionals, funding, and high-tech solutions that speed access to infection-related data, we are not going to continue to make progress in eliminating preventable infections. While cuts in staff, training, and technology may ease budgets in the short term, the effect of increased infections will erode the bottom line over time, not to mention cause needless pain, suffering and death. Healthcare executives must invest in their infection prevention programs. It’s the right thing for patients and it saves hospitals money.”
