The War on Germs
Hospital-acquired infections are one of the most serious issues facing healthcare professionals these days. About one hospital patient in 10 acquires an infection after admission, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from infections they get while in the hospital, which is more than twice as many as are killed in automobile accidents. The CDC says treating hospital-acquired infections costs the U.S. healthcare system more than $25 billion-per-year.
