Healthcare-associated
infections (HAI) are infections caused by a wide variety of common and unusual
bacteria, fungi, and viruses that develop during the course of receiving care
in a medical setting such as a hospital. Arkansas healthcare facilities report
their HAI data to the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) by entering the data
into a database housed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This database is known as the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).
