The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released updated health facility-acquired infections report, reporting infection rates from August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2010. Legislature passed a law in 2006 requiring hospitals and other medical centers to report their HAI’s for a variety of procedures. Data is compared to the national rate, and medical facilities receive a one-word term to describe how they measure up: better, same or worse.
