Western Node MRSA Collaborative

The following presentations were delivered at the Western Node: MRSA Collaborative.  Please click the links below to learn what others have been saying about patient safety and quality improvement.

Objectives​

How can we get a better handle on MRSA? This Collaborative will strive to rejuvenate our traditional infection control interventions including how we engage health care providers on this important issue.  

We have learned that teams who join BTS Collaboratives achieve greater improvement than those who do not, and so we encourage you to take advantage of this additional level of support!
