Definition from
HealthLine:
A nosocomial infection is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as a hospital. People now use nosocomial infections interchangeably with the terms health-care associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections. For a HAI, the infection must not be present before someone has been under medical care.
Example sentences:
Researchers from Queen Mary Hospital in Hong Kong reported that zero healthcare workers contracted COVID-19 and no hospital-acquired (nosocomial) infections were identified after the first six weeks of the outbreak, even as the health system tested 1,275 suspected cases and treated 42 active confirmed cases of COVID-19. Eleven healthcare workers, out of 413 involved in treating confirmed cases, had unprotected exposure and were quarantined for 14 days. None became ill.

The first victim of hospital-acquired coronavirus in the UK has been identified in a development that has fuelled concerns the disease is spreading within hospitals. (The Guardian)
Ensure optimal care options for all hospitalized patients, lessen the risk of nosocomial infections, and maintain the integrity of the healthcare system. Ensure that those who are at highest risk of complication of infection are rapidly identified and appropriately triaged. (EHS Today)

병원감염
Definition from
경희의료원:
병원감염은 “병원 환경에서 얻은 감염”이란 의미의 “hospital acquired infection” 또는 그리스어원의 병원을 의미하는 “nosocomial”에서 유래한 “nosocomial infection”이라고도 한다.
Example sentences:
병원감염은 입원기간 연장, 의료의 질 저하, 막대한 경제적 손실 등을 초래한다고 알려져 있어 예방이 중요하 게 생각되고 있으며 2010년부터 실시되고 있는 의료 기관인증평가에서 큰 비중을 차지하는 항목으로 자리 잡고 있어 더욱 관심이 집중되고 있다. (한국산학기술학회논문지)
병원감염 또는 병원내 감염(hospital infection)이란 입원 당시에 나타나지 않았던 혹은 잠복하고 있지 않았던 감염이 입원기간 중에 발생한 경우로서 통상 입원 후 48시간 이후에 발생한 감염을 말한다. (월간의약정보)
이는 전반적인 병원감염의 중요성에 대한 인식으로 다수의 병원에서 병원감염에 대한 교육이 광범위하게 이루어지고 있는 것에 반해 VRE에서 기인된 병원감염의 심각성에 대한 보고는 최근에 부각되어(Broadhead et al., 2001; Korean Society for Nosocomial Infection Control, 2006) 병원감염 관리교육보다 상대적으로 VRE 감염교육 기회에 노출되었을 가능성이 적었기 때문으로 해석된다. (기본간호학회지)
