Why should you be
interested in infection
control?
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) reports two million
hospital patients acquire an infection
while being treated on an annual basis
and over 80,000 patients die from
complications resulting from infection.
The CDC estimates that up to one-third
of infections acquired in health care
settings are preventable through
infection control.
The CDC reports that hospital infections
cost the American public nearly $5
billion in healthcare costs each year.
