Preventing HAIs Can Save You Money

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals pose significant economic consequences on the nation’s healthcare system. With an incidence of approximately 4.5 HAIs for every 100 hospital admissions, they directly cost the healthcare system billions of dollars annually.

In this report, The Direct Medical Costs of Healthcare-Associated Infections in U.S. Hospitals and the Benefits of Prevention, results from published medical and economic literature provide a range of estimates for the annual direct hospital cost of treating HAIs in the United States. Use this in-depth account when creating budgets, financial planning or developing your own report on the cost of HAIs in your facility.

This comprehensive report was written based on an extensive study done in 2009 for the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and Control of Infectious Diseases, Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
