HAI at Center of Rising Costs
BARRINGTON, Ill. --- July 14, 2011 -- They represent the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. They kill more Americans each year than prostate cancer and breast cancer combined yet relatively little attention is paid to their prevention.

This condition, which impacts one in every twenty hospital patients, is the subject of a new whitepaper from GE Healthcare, released today.
