Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) take a major human toll on society and reduce public confidence in the healthcare system. The current convergence of scientific, public, and legislative interest in reducing rates of HAI can provide the necessary momentum to address and answer important questions in HAI research. This position paper outlines priorities for a national approach to HAIs: scrutinizing the science base, developing a prioritized research agenda, conducting studies that address the questions that have been identified, creating and deploying guidelines that are based on the outcomes of these studies, and then initiating new studies that assess the efficacy of the interventions.
医疗保健相关感染（HAI）给社会带来了重大的人员伤亡，并降低了公众对医疗保健系统的信心。目前，科学界、公众和立法部门在降低 HAI 发生率方面的兴趣日益融合，这为解决和回答 HAI 研究中的重要问题提供了必要的动力。本立场文件概述了国家应对 HAI 的重点：仔细审查科学基础，制定优先研究议程，开展解决已确定问题的研究，制定和部署基于这些研究结果的指南，然后启动评估干预措施效果的新研究。
