Are your patients bugging out about MRSA? Use the spotlight to your advantage
Briefings on Infection Control, January 1, 2008
If your facility is like many others, your office has been fielding a lot of MRSA questions lately. In recent months the public has been jarred by the salacious headlines: A student athlete and infant die from MRSA infections; a new CDC study shows MRSA may kill more Americans than AIDS; MRSA is lurking in your local athletic club. With fears heightened and healthcare consumers seeking more information, you're in the tricky position of having to provide it. That means you need to be as well versed in public relations skills as you are in IC measures.
