It is the responsibility of healthcare facilities to create a safe and sanitary environment for their patients. A healthcare-associated infection (HAI), also referred to as a nosocomial infection or hospital-acquired infection, is a harmful, and at times fatal, infection acquired at a hospital or other healthcare facility, including a doctor’s office, clinic, or nursing home, among others.

According to the Oxford Academic Journals, 1 in 10 healthcare patients contracts an HAI, with pneumonia and surgical site infections being the most common.
Most infections are preventable and caused by negligence or medical malpractice, often in the form of:
- Failure to carry out routine pre-screening for MRSA or C.Diff
- Careless or invasive procedures
- Lack of cleanliness in the healthcare environment (including the water system)
- Lack of proper personal hygiene, such as hand washing
- Hospital negligence
- Failure to provide basic pre- and post-surgical care
- Failure to diagnose the infection
- Improper prescription of antibiotics
- Improper filtration of air
- Other medical errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Unsterilized medical equipment
- Surgical errors
