Getting to zero: Reduction in the incidence of multidrug-resistant organism infections using an integrated infection control protocol in an intensive care unit.
Environmental cleaning is a vital component of infection control. We describe the use of an integrated infection control protocol in an intensive care unit and its influence on multidrug-resistant organism infection rates. Sustained reductions in multidrug-resistant organism infections can be achieved if individual processes and weaknesses in intensive care unit environments are identified and addressed in a systematic and comprehensive manner.
