Healthcare Associated Infection
Healthcare Associated Infection
A healthcare-associated infection (HAI) is an infection that develops during, or soon after, receiving healthcare services or being in a healthcare setting. These infections are considered a threat to patient safety, but HAIs can be prevented. The purpose of the HAI Program is to provide education to healthcare facility staff to combat transmission of HAIs and to monitor the prevalence of multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) in Nevada.
