BlackNorthwestern University - School of Law; Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management; European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) September 29, 2011 Clinical Governance, Forthcoming Northwestern Law & Economics Research Paper No. 11-22 Abstract: Health-care associated infections (HAIs) kill about 100,000 people annually; many are preventable. In response, 18 states currently require hospitals to publicly report their infection rates and national reporting is planned.

I review here what little we know, emphasizing my own case study of Pennsylvania.
