Article

Infection-Control Report Cards — Securing Patient Safety (Perspective, N Engl J Med 2005:353;225 - 227) . On page 226, in the map showing the status of legislation requiring public disclosure of rates of nosocomial infection, Indiana, Louisiana, Texas, and Utah should have been highlighted as states in which legislation for the study of the reporting of nosocomial infection has been passed. (Updated information about the status of such legislation is available at www.apic.org.) Also, on page 227, the volume and page numbers in reference 1 should have read “26:580-7,” rather than “33:217-26,” as printed. We regret the error.
