Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs)
If you are performing routine care on yourself, a loved one or a patient as a medical caregiver, you must be cautious to reduce or eliminate the risk of touching blood, secretions, excretions and other bodily fluids. Whether you have direct exposure to these items or indirect exposure through handling waste, cleaning instruments or cleaning up spills, protecting yourself from accidental exposure is a fundamental best practice with an importance that cannot be overstated. Great strides have been made in preventing many healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Even so, approximately one in 31 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection according to the Centers for Disease Control.
