Infection Prevention
At Harrison, we take quality and patient safety seriously–it’s our #1 priority. We believe that transparency helps build trust and improves perception and understanding of our processes. Our approach to reducing the risk of acquiring and transmitting all types of infection is an integrated, collaborative and multidisciplinary one that is based on the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention guidelines, state and federal public health regulations, Joint Commission requirements and a variety of local and national patient safety initiatives.


Below are the types of infections that we monitor and publicly report plus the steps that we take daily to improve our quality of care and increase patient safety. We ask that if you’re a patient, please direct further questions to your physician and/or surgeon.
