SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Healthcare-associated infections exact a
significant toll on human life. They are
among the leading causes of preventable
death in the United States. On average,
1 in 3 patients admitted to a hospital
suffers a medical error or adverse event
and at any given time about 1 in every
20 patients is affected by an infection
related to hospital care. And, on
average, 1 in 7 Medicare beneficiaries is
harmed in the course of care, costing the
government an estimated $4.4 billion
every year. For these reasons, the
prevention and reduction of healthcareassociated infections is a top priority for
HHS.
