Summary:<p>Nosocomial infections are a significant medical burden to every health care setting in the United States. Also known as health-associated infections or hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), they are infections that people acquire while they are receiving treatment for another condition in a health care setting.

This business plan will demonstrate how Tr?-Vigil intends to deliver a vital health care service, while being a sustainable and profitable company.
