New AHRQ Publication Looks at Methods and Implementation Approaches Used for HAI Research Projects
AHRQ’s latest healthcare-associated infection (HAI) resource is now available. Advances in the Prevention and Control of HAIs contains 19 original articles focused on the methods and implementation approaches that AHRQ-funded researchers used in their projects aimed at HAI prevention and risk identification for quality improvement. For over a decade, AHRQ has invested in research and implementation projects to prevent HAIs in diverse health care settings. This new publication features a selection of articles that will advance the professional knowledge about HAIs, including topics such as:
- Reducing cardiac and surgical site infections (SSI), including surveillance techniques
- Overcoming staff barriers in ICUs to prevent infections
- Decreasing antibiotic overuse in primary care
- Reducing HAIs in dialysis centers
- Improving antibiotic use in nursing homes
- Developing the capacity to implement antimicrobial stewardship
- Detecting and treating MRSA in nursing homes and the community
Print copies of Advances in the Prevention and Control of HAIs are available at no charge. They can be ordered via email or by calling the AHRQ Publications Clearinghouse at 1-800-358-9295 and asking for AHRQ Publication No. 14-0003.

Advances in the Prevention and Control of HAIs
This report presents a synthesis of results and methodological insights from AHRQ-funded HAI project leaders. The 19 papers included in the report are divided into two sections: Development and Implementation of HAI Prevention Practices (11 papers) and HAI Risk Identification for Quality Improvement (eight papers).
