Healthcare Associated Infections Resource Center
Welcome to the Infectious Disease Epidemiology Section (IDES) of the Louisiana Office of Public Health's (OPH) Healthcare Associated Infection Resource Center. This page provides information, tools, and resources about preventing and treating healthcare associated infections. Information is also provided regarding state quality improvement initiatives related to healthcare associated infections.
This plan is the Louisiana Healthcare Associated Infection (HAI) Initiative. The HAI program allows our state to create a collaborative effort to prevent healthcare associated infections. It includes development of a state plan for preventing healthcare associated infections, development of a monitoring system, and implementation of a prevention program. The HAI grant is focusing on the following healthcare associated infections:
- Multiple Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO)
- Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)
- Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI)
- Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI)
