Decontaminate the Environment
The hospital environment can often harbor drug-resistant pathogens like MRSA, and other dangerous pathogens like Clostridioides difficile. This is especially true for “high-touch surfaces,” which are frequently touched by healthcare workers and patients, including intravenous poles, bedrails, and over-bed tables. Therefore, environmental cleaning plays a critical role in MRSA prevention.
This page focuses on measuring cleaning effectiveness, improving cleaning efficacy, and monitoring progress over time.
