Several information technology companies are employing various algorithms to arrive at inferences that could help improve hospital-acquired infection control.

• Hospitals and ICUs
• Outpatient care centers
• Long-term care facilities (LTCFs)

As per this market research report, hospitals and ICUs held the maximum market share of the hospital-acquired infection control market during 2016. The prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is high in hospitals and ICUs as they lack adequate maintenance due to the high volume of patients and limited budgets. Moreover, the staff shortage in hospitals and ICUs also increases the prevalence of HAIs as patients do not get the required attention. These factors will drive the growth in demand for hospital-acquired infections control products from hospitals and ICUs during the forecast period.
