A CD of Prevent MRSA or Face the Wrath of Lawmakers and Consumers Audio Conference held Wednesday, April 2, 2008
A 90-minute interactive audio conference CD from the publisher of Hospital Infection Control and Healthcare Risk Management.
The recent widely publicized finding that methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) now kills more people annually than HIV/AIDS in the United States will inevitably lead to increasing demands for action by angry consumers and impatient lawmakers. Health care facilities will be subjected to more oversight to ensure they are taking measures to eradicate a bug that has become a national nemesis. MRSA laws are already on the books in some states and under discussion in others. The Joint Commission is planning to prioritize MRSA prevention in its proposed 2009 patient safety goals. Yet even in an era of "zero-tolerance" toward infections MRSA continues to run rampant in U.S. healthcare facilities. More and more healthcare institutions are aggressively attacking this problem, but the scope of this health threat demands commitment and participation from every hospital at all levels.
Our expert speaker, William Jarvis, MD will educate you and your staff on the latest evidence-based strategies to control this evolving threat, including:
- Incidence and prevalence of MRSA in U.S. healthcare facilities
- The impact of MRSA infections (morbidity, mortality, and cost)
- Current recommendations to control MRSA
- Evidence-based guidelines for MRSA control
- Effective evidence-based methods that will reduce hospital cost and improve patient outcomes
The rising incidence and cost of MRSA continues to have an adverse affect on all healthcare facilities. Register today for this live 90-minute interactive audio conference and learn proven evidence-based strategies to defend your facility against this rising threat.
