Today bacteria and viruses are stronger than ever. Current products are no longer effective in combating dangerous microbes. Patients and staff are at risk from cross-contamination. Dangerous pathogens travel faster and easier.
Today hospitals face increasing pressure to control costs, increase productivity, and provide superior care. As such, even simple prevention strategies can be overlooked by staff members resulting in Health care associated infections (HAI).
- In a 2011 study, the CDC found that on any given day, about 1 in 25 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection.
- In a 2011 there were 722,000 HAIs in U.S acute care hospitals.
- 75,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during their hospitalizations.
- Annual costs of HAIs is estimated between $35.7 to $45 billion dollars
