HHS allots ARRA funds to help reduce hospital-acquired infections

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has allocated up to $9 million to help combat health care-acquired infections in ambulatory surgical centers through information technology. The funds, which are provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will be used for surveying 1,300 ASCs across the country using an infection control device developed by the CMS and CDC.
