Royal Brisbane and Womens Hospital
Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving treatment for other conditions, or that healthcare workers acquire whilst performing work duties within a healthcare setting. HAIs can be very serious and may increase length of hospital stay. A proportion of HAI are preventable. Prevention and control of these infections in hospitals is a priority for Queensland Health and is the key to keeping patients and staff safe.
