Proactive infection prevention measures and surveillance of traditional HAIs were exceedingly difficult during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result, HAIs rose as much as 47% in 2020. As we begin to move into a new phase of the pandemic, it is necessary that healthcare professionals refocus their attentions on key performance and outcome improvement opportunities across departments and specialties as they relate to HAIs.
To support this initiative, the Sepsis Alliance Institute is holding their Healthcare-Associated Infection Mini-Summit on December 15, 2022 from 11:00am – 2:30pm CST.
