Process and Technology Strategies for Prevention of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections

Welcome. This Web site has been designed specifically for the purpose of providing educational materials related to the 2009 Consensus Conference on the prevention of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). This conference was held in October 2009 over an intensive 1.5 days with experts from around the country whose goal was to develop strategies to assist in the prevention of HAIs. Through this Web site, you will have access to a preliminary report (white paper) issued prior to the conference, which reviews the scope of HAIs; a paper describing the results of the conference; and a multimedia presentation featuring a summary of the conference from the chairman's perspective as well as highlights of the conference presentations.
