Hospital Associated Infections (HAIs) originally referred to those infections associated with admission to an acute-care hospital (a nosocomial infection), but the term now applies to infections acquired in the continuum of settings where persons receive health care (e.g., long-term care, home care, ambulatory care). The occurrence of HAIs continues to escalate at an alarming rate.

What are the preferable causes for increasing HAIs? What preventive majors needs to be followed?
