Infection prevention and control

Abstract

A 500-bed tertiary care hospital has implemented an effective infection control program 3 years ago. According to the line-listing monthly reports, the MRSA healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rate ranged from 3.8 to 12.4% during the last year. However, the MRSA infection rate has dramatically increased from 37.2% to 48.2% in the last 3 months. The infection control committee discussed this event. A decision of designing specific measures was taken to reduce MRSA transmission.
