Medical instrumentation increases the risk of development of a n HAI and most patients admitted for health care are exposed to a medical device in the course of their treatment. Such devices include, but are not limited to, vascular and urinary catheters, and ventilators. NHSN enables facilities to monitor

The GAIHN-HAI framework emphasizes rapid HAI detection, analysis, and output for timely implementation of response activities. Cross-network data analyses can provide benchmarks and thresholds that can be used as triggers

HAI data detail progress toward the ultimate goal of eliminating HAIs. While there are many kinds of HAIs, data on this and the following pages focus on infections occurring across the U.S. that are reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).

Identifying Healthcare-associated Infections (HAI) for NHSN Surveillance.
