Abstract
BE incidence rates have fallen slowly but significantly since 2001, but the reduction is far less than hoped. Occupied beds (ie, ADC) has become a less-useful denominator. We estimate more than 300,000 HCWs sustain SIs annually in hospital and nonhospital settings. Greater resources are needed for more frequent and correct use of safety devices, training to competency, and root-cause investigation of all SIs.
