The Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program in the California Department of Public Health Center for Health Care Quality​ oversees the prevention, surveillance, reporting, and response to HAIs and antimicrobial resistance (AR) in California's hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Although infections acquired as a result of receiving health care remain a public health problem, HAIs and AR can be prevented by following infection prevention and control (IPC) and antimicrobial stewardship (AS) best practices.

Since 2010, the HAI Program:
  • Receives and publicly reports California hospital HAI data to inform the public and prompt healthcare providers to take action to prevent infections.
  • Conducts statewide surveillance of healthcare-associated reportable conditions. 
  • Provides IPC and AS education, training, and consultation to healthcare providers.
  • Convenes statewide and regional HAI/AR prevention collaboratives to coordinate efforts among healthcare facilities that commonly share patients.
  • Assists local public health agencies to investigate HAI/AR unusual occurrences, IPC breaches, and outbreaks that occur in healthcare facilities.
