There are two. Nosocomial infections (not disease) are hospital-acquired. The other is iatrogenic disorders which are caused by medical personnel or procedures or through exposure to the environment of a health care facility.
Diseases aren't generally transmitted in this setting. I believe you may be thinking of MRSA infection and VRE infection. These are common.

The general term is nosocomial infection. More specifically, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) are unfortunately common nosocomial infections.
