Infection surveillance is one of the cornerstones of infection prevention and control. Measurement of process metrics and clinical outcomes, such as detection of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), can be used to support continuous quality improvement. HAI metrics are reported as part of the CMS Hospital-Acquired Conditions Program, and they influence facility reputation and financial outcomes.
