WRT the caps, however, there has been some empiric evidence that those caps might be a contributing factor in patient infections. Why?

There is a big difference between hospitals, in my opinion. Some of them are not too clean, judging from the public restrooms. Fortunately, these are in the minority. There seems to be a lack of respect for the nurses. They are overworked and spread too thin. I've seen some pretty poor decisions made about room assignments, mixing surgical patients in with diseased patients and so forth. I've heard that there is a shortage of nurses. I can't imagine why. They get all the work and little pay for what is required. As often as not, people in my profession (forestry) get married to nurses. According to the author of a study on administrative behavior, this is because the people who seek out these two professions do so for reasons other than to get rich. They do it out of a sense of service and love for the idea of their profession. amazon.com
