Healthcare-Associated Infections - Infectious Disease
March 27, 2017
HAI prevention progress is tracked using a standardized infection ratio which compares the current number of infections to the number of predicted infections based on national baseline data; lower SIRs indicate better progress (i.e., fewer infections). National prevention targets are set by US Department of Health and Human Services and through the Healthy People framework.
