How hospitals are closing a critical gap in infection prevention
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are one of the most persistent patient safety threats, leading to complications, longer stays and higher costs. Yet, many HAIs are preventable.
To help close this critical gap in prevention, hospitals are adopting a simple, evidence-based strategy of universal nasal decolonization (UND) to lower infection risk across all patient populations. A growing body of evidence underscores the value of UND in preventing infections and reducing costs.
This report explores the rationale, clinical evidence and practical strategies for integrating nasal decolonization into infection prevention protocols.

This report explores the rationale, clinical evidence and practical strategies for integrating nasal decolonization into infection prevention protocols.
Key UND learning points:
- Understand how universal nasal decolonization (UND) reduces HAIs across diverse settings and patient populations
- Explore data demonstrating lower treatment costs, fewer readmissions and shorter lengths of stay from prevented HAIs
- Discover how a standardized approach can help simplify workflows and improve efficiency
