Demonstrating Return on Investment for Infection Prevention and Control

چکیده
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) account for about 1.7 million infections and 99,000 deaths in the United States each year. This number represents 4.5 infections for every 100 hospital admissions.1 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) March 2009 report on the direct medical costs of HAIs estimates that $35.7 to $45 billion in 2007 dollars is added to the nation’s annual healthcare costs to treat these infections. These estimates reinforce the need for a renewed focus on sustainable HAI prevention and surveillance processes. 2 Resources are needed to sustain the momentum of infection prevention. Increasing resources requires establishing a business case for infection prevention and control programs.
