566. Reduction of Hospital-Onset Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia in an Acute Care Hospital: Impact of Bundles and Universal Decolonization
Abstract:BackgroundMRSA is a major concern for hospitalized patients in the United States. Hospital-Onset (HO) MRSA bacteremia is used as a proxy measurement of MRSA healthcare acquisition, exposure, and infection burden. HO MRSA bacteremia standardized infection ratio (SIR) is used by several national agencies as a quality report metric. Our institution had more than expected HO MRSA bacteremia cases despite several interventions. We describe the impact of a bundle of interventions aimed to decrease HO MRSA bacteremia… Show more
“…They cited a study conducted in the Jackson Health System in which integrating CHG protocols into care routines helped promote longer term savings for the hospital because of the reduction of re-admittance rates. 18 Participants also highlighted that CHG bathing products did not have a negative impact on a patient's skin integrity, because they had a low irritancy potential, including an invitro patch test study suggesting these levels were similar to water. This meant that there was a limited level of hygiene related skin breakdown which was seen as a major concern.…”
