MRSA Notes

Beginning in December, and continuing throughout the next six months, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control are going to host “Grand Rounds: Elimination of MRSA Transmission” in Washington, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Dallas and New York City.

“Leading institutions are proving that significant reductions in MRSA can be achieved and sustained through a combination of committed leadership and the application of best practices,” said Kathy L. Warye, APIC’s CEO. “The ‘Grand Rounds’ series is intended to build awareness and accelerate the learning necessary to combat MRSA. In keeping with our zero tolerance position on healthcare-associated infections, this program is intended to clearly demonstrate to clinicians and healthcare administrators how they can create effective strategies for protecting their patients from this deadly infection. By learning how successful healthcare institutions have implemented scientific methodologies, hospitals will be better equipped to introduce effective measures in their own facilities.” Source
