Patient Safety and Infection Control

Health facility-acquired infections (HAI) are infections that occur during or after treatment for a separate medical condition in a health facility. The occurrence of HAIs is a growing concern among healthcare consumers, purchasers and providers. As consumer demand for public reporting of healthcare quality information has increased, policymakers nationwide have acknowledged the need for publishing HAI data in consumer-focused healthcare quality reports.

At Rose, our medical staff and department leaders meet weekly to discuss patient safety measures and our infection control efforts. We closely monitor the infection control data to ensure that we are doing everything we can to reduce the number of HAIs in our facility each year.
