The four-part framework to eliminate the incidence of HAIs is a collection of best practices from recent successes. They include the following:
• Implement evidence-based practices that protect patients
• Align incentives to promote system-wide strategies for HAI prevention
• Address gaps in knowledge to push beyond current medical knowledge
• Collect data to target prevention efforts and measure progress
