Sustained meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus control in a hyper-endemic tertiary acute care hospital with infrastructure challenges in Singapore	2013-09-05		.txt	text/plain	3387	176	43	METHODS: The bundle included active surveillance on admission and transfer/discharge to identify ward-based acquisition of MRSA, isolation and cohorting of MRSA-infected patients, enhanced hand hygiene initiatives, and publicly displayed feedback of MRSA acquisition and hand hygiene compliance rates. 6e9 Effective interventions for controlling MRSA transmission in a hospital setting are well known and include active surveillance, improving hand hygiene compliance, and isolating all MRSA cases, whereas general strategies such as obtaining focused and committed hospital leadership are critical towards lowering implementation barriers and improving sustainability. À Other measures included a bare-below-the-elbows policy for all clinical staff, coloured bracelets to identify all colonized and infected patients, and cash rewards (of around US$250) for exemplary performances by wards or departments with regards to hand hygiene compliance and MRSA transmission rates to enjoy a celebratory lunch or similar.	./cache/cord-290305-8u2zxsam.txt	./txt/cord-290305-8u2zxsam.txt
