The Steps Taken….
Proposal to Admin Team – research indicating patient safety and decreased infection rates
Participated in IHI’s Project Joints Cohort 1
Determined providing CHG soap to patient would directly impact compliance
Education of physicians and coworkers

Pre-Operative Screening
• Began Rapid MRSA screening in 2011 and providing results to MD office to decolonize
• Switched to standardized order for decolonization to be facilitated by PAT nurse if MRSA was positive
• Did a trial of MSSA screening in 2012 did not see any MSSA positive that were not MRSA positive
• Nutrition labs – Transferritin, Total Protein, Albumin, Pre-albumin
• Will begin MSSA screening on all joint replacement patients in June

How We Made It Happen
Determining benefit of Active Screening – Ongoing education for physicians and staff
Working closely with IHI and Project Joints on streamlining pre-op screening
Monitoring Compliance with decolonization - Have tried various methods - currently trusting report of patient
Availability of CHG – Determined that this will be provided by hospital at PAT
Standardized post-op dressings

Don’t Forget Education With The OR Staff
Education regarding the difference of the Alcohol based preps is imperative
Assisting physicians with Order Sets in Electronic Health Record secured the use of alcohol based preps
Electronic Health Record also helped with documentation of prep
