From the APIC.org:

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidance on September 16 for preventing flu in healthcare settings. The new 17-page guide, which replaces previous CDC guidance for both seasonal influenza and the Interim Guidance on Infection Control Measures for 2009 H1N1 Influenza in Healthcare Settings, recommends the use of surgical masks rather than N-95 respirators when providing routine care for flu patients. Access the new CDC guidelines. “

This was written by the Lexington Herald Leader today regarding the name change of HAIs:

...What's more, HAIs (hospital acquired infections) are common enough in all health-care settings, not just hospitals, to warrant a name change. They are now recognized by the Centers for Disease Control as "health care associated infections." The name change may seem innocuous, or perhaps a bit defensive on the part of hospitals sensitive to public relations. But on a deeper level, it's disturbing that rather than defeat the infection threat, we've renamed it to capture its expanding footprint.
