INFECTION CONTROL TOOL KIT.

Critical Issues in Infection Control: Focusing on VRI and MRSA in Long Term Care Settings answers the most common and controversial questions that medical directors and administrators have about Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Reviewed by nationally known experts in the field of infection control, the kit provides recommendations and resources for managing VRE and MRSA in the long-term care setting, including an annotated literature review on VRE and MRSA. Also in the toolkit are a Sample Infection Control Admission Screening Form for possible infection control issues in residents, and a Notification of Resistant Organisms Form for appropriate notification of other healthcare facilities about a resident with an antibiotic-resistant organism.
