According to new data by the Oregon Health Authority, hospitals across the state continue to fall short of national standards designed to protect patients. The state tracks infections that patients can pick up while receiving care, known as hospital-acquired infections.

Oregon hospitals recorded nearly 1,000 infections that patients picked up while receiving care in 2024, resulting in infection levels that missed most national safety standards, according to a new state report.
