Combatting Healthcare-Acquired Infections: The Role of Oral Medications and Management

Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) pose a significant challenge, affecting 1 in 20 patients and costing approximately $16,500 per episode, with over 37,000 cases occurring in hospitals annually. With a national priority of addressing these infections, the opportunity for impactful change is clear. By enhancing oral medication management, we can improve patient outcomes, reduce hospitalizations, and lower costs. As we prepare for 2014 and the bundling of oral medications, the focus on adherence and effective treatment becomes essential for better overall healthcare delivery.
