OM004: IMPROVING PATIENT SAFETY AND QUALITY OF
, MRSA: Safety Plan
Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused
by a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics used to treat
ordinary staph infections. One common symptomology is that MRSA is red and bumpy, usually
warm to the touch, full of puss or other drainages, and can be accompanied by fever. Some
significant risk factors to consider are being hospitalized, living in crowded and unsanitary
conditions. Having an invasive medical device, I e. catheters or intravenous tubing, anything that
can provide the MRSA a pathway into the body. Long-term care facilities also run the risk of
MRSA due to overcrowding, possibly sharing a room, and some being not as sanitary as others.
The main objectives of this plan are to discuss preventative measures, educate staff, reduce
incidents by 80%. (CDC, 2015)
Prevention:
Hand washing – being conscious of handwashing and for healthcare professionals
washing hands between glove use and before touching others, especially during preparing
for the following procedure or touching open wounds on patients.
Keeps Wounds Covered – Staff should make sure to keep cuts and scrapes clean while
maintaining fresh bandages. The pus from infected sores could contain MRSA, and
keeping wounds covered can help prevent the spread of bacteria.
Keep linen sanitized and clean- A large department that goes unseen and forgotten in
nursing homes and hospitals is housekeeping and laundry. Cuts and sores from patients
can leave bacteria in the linen. Linens should be washed on the hottest water setting and
dried in a hot dryer.
