Protecta Gets Results

Nearly 75,000 people die each year in the U.S. from preventable infections acquired in the hospital. In addition to the lives at stake, just one hospital-acquired infection (HAI) can cost your hospital $45,000 in penalties imposed on your Medicare reimbursement.*  

Is your healthcare facility challenged with high HAI rates, putting your patients’ health and safety at risk? Is your hospital facing HAC penalties, or are poor HCAHPS scores diminishing your hospital's reputation? Or does your hospital simply want to maintain the highest standard of care?   

In any of these cases, an effective infection prevention program can help you reduce these risks and drive positive clinical and financial outcomes.
