Toolkit for Improving Skin Care and MDRO Prevention in Long-Term Care

https://www.ahrq.gov/hai/tools/mrsa-prevention/mdro-ltc/index.html The AHRQ Safety Program for Improving Skin Care and Multidrug-Resistant Organism (MDRO) Prevention in Long-Term Care was implemented over an 18-month period in more than 300 nursing homes across the United States. The program has been associated with increased adoption of infection control practices and significant reductions in the development of nosocomial stage 2 and unstageable pressure ulcers. Developed to support this national implementation effort, the AHRQ Toolkit for Improving Skin Care and MDRO Prevention in Long-Term Care is a must-have for long-term care facilities and provides practical resources to strengthen infection prevention compliance, improve skin care, protect residents, and enhance safety culture.
