NCPS Patient Safety Fellow Dawn Sillars discusses her article, “Health Care-Associated Infections: A Persistent Patient Safety Issue,” in this short podcast.

Discussing the importance of this issue, she notes: “There’s a surprising statistic that
75,000 patients per year die as a result of health care-associated infections, which is actually more than breast cancer, prostate cancer and cervical cancer combined.”
