Frieden, Director of the CDC, has stated “Evidence indicates that, with focused efforts, these once formidable infections can be greatly reduced in number, leading to a new normal for healthcare-associated infections as rare, unacceptable events”. -- October 2011 http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/656002
