The National and State Healthcare-Associated Infection
Progress Report should be used by health departments,
hospital associations, professional societies, healthcare
systems and facilities, and quality improvement groups to
identify infections that need additional prevention efforts.
As identified in this report, most infections are decreasing.
Prevention goals are most likely to be met with targeted
efforts to cut infection types shown to be lagging behind
and to make further progress on the infection types headed
in the right direction.
