Healthcare-Acquired Infections. Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAIs), sometimes called Healthcare-Associated Infections, are infections that you get while receiving treatment at a healthcare facility, like a hospital, or from a healthcare professional, like a doctor or nurse.
New statistics released this week by the Alliance for Aging Research paint a grim picture of the financial and human costs of healthcare-associated infections, or HAIs: 1  1.7 million Americans develop hospital-acquired infections each year, and 99,000 die of HAIs annually. Three-fourths of the infections start in places like nursing homes and doctors' offices. The economic burden to the U.S. may be as high as $45 billion per year.
