New Approaches to Control of Hospital-Acquired Infections

Clinical questions to be addressed:

What are the major hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections in the early 21st century, and what is their impact?
What do we know about the epidemiology and pathogenesis of these infections?
What are key proven control measures for prevention of catheter-associated UTI, health care--associated pneumonia, surgical site infection, and line sepsis?
How can we minimize the spread of MRSA and other multiresistant pathogens in the health care institution? Should all newly admitted patients be screened for MRSA?
Discuss the increasing role for novel technology designed for prevention.
