The results are noteworthy. High compliance with hand hygiene and focusing on other simple, data driven infection control measures in our medical, surgical and neuroscience intensive care units resulted in reduced rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection by 95 percent over 9 years.
Most importantly, these intervention similarly decreased infections by other pathogens.
Common sense infection prevention strategies work.
