our pre-op holding patient flow supervisor assigns someone to be
responsible for the screening on the day of surgery.
Once we have the results, we have an algorithm that dictates the
recommended prophylaxis, which depends on the procedure. For
patients who test positive for MRSA, we add Vancomycin to the pre-
incision prophylaxis. And, if those patients are allergic to
Vancomycin, we use a decision tree based on recommendations
from our infectious disease physicians.
Another challenge: getting results
Obtaining timely and reliable results turned out to be another barrier
we had to overcome. It takes only 3 seconds to swirl a swab inside a
patient's nose, but what happens after that can be unpredictable.
