• The text and figures that follow constitute a high-level assessment of data reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) combined with data from other sources the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses, reflecting on several years of national progress toward elimination of major healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in acute care hospitals.
