Relias Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HACs)
Evidence-Based, Personalized Learning
Reducing variation in care among nurses and doctors to prevent and reduce hospital-acquired conditions (HACs).
Addressing the Recurrent Topic of HACs
HACs are medical conditions or complications that develop from hospital errors or accidents that were not present when a patient was initially admitted to the hospital.
Why are they still relevant today?
Why are they still relevant today?
Aging Demographics
With the global change in aging demographics, the complexity of cases and the use of certain devices and interventions has increased, along with the risk of HACs.
Complicated Definitions
Complicated terminology and numerous abbreviations associated with HACs creates a need to make definitions more accessible to front-line clinicians.
Prioritizing Actions
Many clinicans are juggling a number of cases and conditions, making it difficult to prioritize specific actions, thus increasing the risk of HACs.
Financial Implications
HACs continue to affect both patient and financial outcomes, with approximately 3 million cases annually, resulting in over $2 billion in excess hospital costs.
WHITE PAPER :
Reducing HACs: Four Tried-and-True Strategies
Learn the impact of HACs on patient care, outcomes, and finances and four strategies to decrease them in your organization.
START WITH CAUTI AND CLABSI
Relias HACs offers a powerful learning opportunity through high-fidelity scenarios that educate clinicians on the impact of diagnostic, treatment and intervention decisions.
CAUTI - ICU & Med/Surg
Content includes in-depth topics such as CAUTI risk factors, management and prevention at bedside and unit-level.
CLABSI - ICU & Med/Surg
Content includes in-depth topics such as CLABSI risk factors, management and prevention at bedside and unit-level.
Nurse & Provider Tracks
Each course offers both a nurse and provider track for ICU and Med/Surg departments, where most HACs are clinically managed.
ANCC & ACCME Accredited
All courses are ANCC & ACCME accredited, so nurses and providers can earn continuing education credit as they learn.

Comprehensive Assessment
A comprehensive assessment provides insight into clinicians’ mastery of knowledge and judgment, benchmarking individual scores and quantifying team variation.
Tailored Learning Plans
Relias HACs delivers a personalized learning plan, excluding content clinicians have mastered, marked by red – required, yellow – recommended, and green – optional.
Engaging Advanced Content
Developed by medical experts, modules are delivered in easy-to-absorb, 2-8 minute segments, including videos, case studies, and interactive 3D animations with text.
Real-Time Analytics
Relias HACs provides data to identify and invest in areas of training that improve quality of care, increase patient safety, and reduce the risks of HACs.
“Relias has helped us see a more detailed picture of risk – but more importantly, opportunity.”
Benefits of Personalized Learning
Our innovative platform delivers individualized and prioritized content to clinicians to learn when they want, where they want, and only what they need.
As a result, Relias HACs enables hospital leaders to focus limited resources on high-impact education for improving quality and patient safety.
