Annually, approximately one out of every 20 inpatients or an estimated 1.7 million individuals experience a hospital-acquired infection (HAI) in the US. In practice, this means that 5%–10% of admitted patients will develop an HAI and approximately 100,000 of these patients will die.[1,2] The estimated incidence of HAIs exceeds that of many other reportable diseases in the US, and the number of HAI-related deaths is greater than many of the leading causes of mortality.[1]
