Consumer Reports called out 31 healthcare facilities for poor infection control, according to an article on the Healthcare Dive website.
The group looked at central-line infections and found many hospitals still aren’t following basic infection prevention and control procedures.
The report lists 31 teaching hospitals with the lowest scores for these infections. Among them are Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Jersey.
On the other hand, MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center in Baltimore and Mount Sinai St. Luke’s – Roosevelt in New York City were top scorers.
