New from CDC: Research questions to close gaps in patient safety

Research Gaps in Patient & Healthcare
Personnel Safety 
Priority Research Questions to Drive Improvement

For the first time, CDC’s Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion is releasing a list of unanswered research questions to drive improvements in patient and healthcare personnel safety, including combating healthcare threats like antimicrobial resistance and sepsis. After investing more than $500 million in healthcare research innovations, we’re hopeful that researchers and partners will join us in accelerating this critical science for patient and healthcare worker safety, using this list to inform decisions such as strategic planning.

On any given day, about 1 in 31 hospital patients and 1 in 43 nursing home residents have at least one healthcare-associated infection (HAI), and at least 35,000 people die from antimicrobial-resistant infections each year. HAIs can have devastating effects on physical, mental/emotional, and financial health. In addition, they cost billions of dollars in added expenses to the healthcare system.

A multiracial healthcare worker holding clipboard stares out of the window to gather thoughts, during (what appears to be) the nightshift of her healthcare-related work shift. 


Answers to these questions will help the U.S. "get to zero" healthcare-associated infections and move the field forward with strategies that will allow for safer and more equitable health care.


Read the full list of priority research questions and learn more about CDC’s investments in healthcare research innovations.
