Compendium of Strategies to Prevent HAIs in Acute Care Hospitals 2022.

Health care–associated infections (HAIs) affect patients both during and after hospitalization. The use of patient safety methods as well as traditional infection control practices has resulted in significant successes in curbing HAIs such as central-line bloodstream infections. This set of practice guidelines developed through a collaborative effort led by the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology in America (SHEA) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), has been disseminated over the course of 2022-2023 to summarize preemptive actions and implementation strategies for prevention of HAIs.
