| Popis: | Issue: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of HA and community-associated infections. HCA implemented an enterprise wide campaign to reduce HA-MRSA in 2007 consisting of active MRSA surveillance, barrier precautions, hand hygiene and disinfection. Mean HA-MRSA rates decreased for central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and surgical site infections (SSI) in 2008 and again in 2009 compared to 2006 baseline. MRSA colonization in adult ICUs was 8.9%. Surveillance definitions used NHSN criteria. A survey was designed to identify infection control practices to prevent transmission in adult ICUs based on HICPAC and SHEA evidence based guidelines. |
