And really I am not oversimplifying things here. MRSA prevention is more than just the CDC, the SHEA, or the APIC infection control guidelines- it is about getting staff to follow these guidelines 100% of the time. That means engaging them in finding solutions to the barriers that prevent THEM from doing 100% of the time.
So really what do cabinets- specifically the ones that hold isolation gowns- have to do MRSA prevention? See below [ courtesy of Delmarva Foundation/Maryland Patient Safety Center] for a clip of Jeff Cohn, Chief Quality Officer at Albert Einstein Medical Center [one of the PD/MRSA sites] in Philadelphia, PA talking about how PD is helping AEMC prevent MRSA and CHANGE MORE than just cabinets.
