Presenter Jason Aliotta MD Associate Professor of Medicine, Clinician Educator, Brown University Webinar HACs: A New Approach to Reduce Preventable Complications About This Webinar Hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) are complications that patients develop while hospitalized, which are widely preventable. They have been a recurrent topic in healthcare for over a decade, originally surfacing through the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and later becoming a source of decreased reimbursement through the Inpatient Prospective Payment System’s (IPPS’s) 2009 Final Rule. Even though there has been a steady decline in HAC rates across the U.S. over the past ten years, HAC-associated morbidity, mortality and costs remain a substantial burden on the healthcare system. This webinar provides context from a patient care and financial standpoint on the impact of HACs, including central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). We discuss the benefit of personalized learning to educate staff on strategies to reduce HAC rates at your institution.
