Quality Report Card • Infection Control
Infection Control is a strategy used to prevent health care-associated infections. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year, approximately 2 million patients admitted to acute care hospitals acquire infections that were not related to the condition for which they were hospitalized. These infections result in increased complications and mortality.
