The Maryland Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Advisory Committee's mission is to identify specific HAI prevention targets for Maryland consistent with the priorities established by the State of Maryland and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, identify evidence-based practices needed to achieve and sustain progress in protecting patients in Maryland from the transmission of HAIs that are serious and cause increased morbidity and mortality, and monitor and communicate progress in meeting prevention targets on an on-going basis.
The Maryland Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Advisory Committee's vision is for Maryland to become a national leader among the states in the area of preventing and controlling HAIs.
