Совет: If you are reading this and are getting ready to be hospitalized orhave a surgery, you are probably wondering how you can be sure yourhospital takes the steps necessary to reduce infections. *I suggest looking at the hospital comparison website of The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is a government agency that, among other fuctions, tracks infectionsat hospitals across the country. The CMS website allows the public tosee safety data for hospitals, to include information on infectionprevention measures.
