Description

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), has awarded a Master IDIQ for healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and other adverse events which continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality among patients treated in healthcare institutions. Additional Healthcare Epidemiology and Infection Control research is needed to facilitate development of innovative strategies for detection and prevention of HAIs, Antimicrobial Resistance (AR), and other adverse events in order to reduce the morbidity, mortality, and costs associated with these conditions.
