Laws Pertaining to Healthcare-Associated Infections: A Review of 3 Legal Requirements

Author:

Reagan Julie,Hacker Carl

Abstract

We reviewed US state and territorial healthcare-associated infection (HAI) laws, specifically addressing 3 legal requirements: data submission, reporting of data to the public, and inclusion of facility identifiers in public reports. The majority of US states and territories have HAI laws. The 3 studied legal provisions are all commonly included in state HAI laws in varying forms; however, only a minority of states and territories specifically mandate all 3 legal requirements. The laws of the remaining states vary considerably.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2012;33(1):75-80
