Ensuring
patient safety

Infections, such as CLABSIs, are not only high risk incidents for patients, they are high cost centers for your hospital.

See how HALYARD* Solutions can help with CLABSI prevention and other risks to keep your patients safe and protect your bottom line.

Hospitals operate in an extremely competitive environment, and face declining reimbursements.

HAIs can be an unfortunate contributor to unnecessary costs for hospitals, posing threats to the patient experience, safety and outcomes against which they’re evaluated for reimbursement.

Although significant progress has been made in preventing some healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), this remains an important and needed focus in healthcare.

Following CLABSI protocols and utilizing proper, high quality products can be a key driver in improving patient safety and hospital financial health.

Keep Patients Safer by Following CLABSI Protocol

Until recently, a lack of HAI reporting requirements for healthcare facilities has contributed to less-than-optimal emphasis being placed on eliminating the sources of healthcare associated infections.

However, growing public anxiety regarding the issue and resulting legislation on state and local levels demanding accountability is serving to accelerate initiatives to combat HAIs.
