Preventing harm events in hospitals is a national and state effort.

Preventable harm events are considered the following:
- Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection
- Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections
- Surgical Site Infections
- Serious Reportable Events
- Falls with Injury
- Adverse Drug Events with Significant Harm
