Description
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major concern in healthcare, and health information technology (IT) can be leveraged to play a role in preventing HAIs. We conducted 198 interviews across eight U.S. hospitals to determine how health IT is being used to facilitate HAI prevention. Results show varying ways that health is used for HAI prevention, as well as opportunities to improve health IT systems for HAI prevention.
