AB  - Before  the  advent  of  the  patient  safety  movement,  the  hospital  epidemiology  and  other  infection  control  staff  were  largely  responsible  for  the  prevention  of  hospital-acquired  infections.  Attempts  to  engage  clinicians  in  prevention  efforts  were  often  unsuccessful.  Branding  healthcare-associated  infections  (HAIs)  as  a  patient  safety  problem  (which  by  extension  rendered  failure  of  clinicians  to  engage  in  appropriate  infection  control  practices  a  form  of  medical  error)  has  elevated  the  importance  of  preventing  these  infections  in  the  minds  of  providers,  leaders  of  healthcare  organizations,  and  policymakers.
