The priority of the Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) and Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) and Antibiotic Stewardship (AS) Program is to reduce the risk of infections and complications of individuals receiving healthcare in Idaho.
The Idaho Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) Program is federally funded to support healthcare facilities with preventing and responding to HAIs and antibiotic resistant pathogens. Infections can spread as patients and residents move across the continuum of care. It is essential that facilities assess staff compliance with infection prevention and control policies and practices to identify gaps to help reduce the risk of HAIs.
Although significant progress has been made in preventing some types of healthcare associated infections, there is more work to be done. On any given day, the CDC estimates one in 31 hospitalized patients develops at least one HAI. These infections can develop during (or soon after) receiving healthcare services or being in healthcare or residential care settings.
