Detection, Education, Research and Decolonization Without Isolation in Long-term Care Facilities
Completed
Conditions studied: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
In brief
Our hypothesis for the DERAIL MRSA program is that one can safely remove the colonization risk from nearly all residents (patients) in a way that does not interfere with the desired life-style for persons in these facilities and thereby reduce the risk of infection and lower the cost of care by avoiding preventable disease.
