State health department participates in a broad prevention collaborative addressing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) |
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are diseases acquired by patients while receiving medical treatment in a healthcare facility. HAIs are significant sources of preventable disease burden, and place communities at elevated risk of large-scale outbreaks and epidemics. State prevention collaboratives consist of multiple hospitals within a state that support implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies through peer learning, performance measurement, and feedback reporting to clinicians and staff. State health department participation in these collaboratives is an indicator of the strength of HAI prevention strategies. |
