• Review the VHA methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Prevention Initiative and successes in acute care, spinal cord injury, and the CLCs

• Review Clostridium difficile and the VHA C. difficile infection (CDI) Prevention Initiative and initial VA data

• Review the carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) Prevention Initiative

Pittsburgh Demonstration Project, 2001

• VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative, CDC

• Eliminate MRSA healthcare-associated infections (HAIs)

• Using a “Bundle” based on Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) guidelines.


VA MRSA “Bundle”

1) Active surveillance for all admissions, in-hospital unit-to-unit transfers, and discharges

2) Contact Precautions for all patients/residents colonized or infected with MRSA

3) Hand hygiene

4) Culture change where Infection Control becomes everyone’s responsibility


January 2007

• Success at Pittsburgh VA 2002-2006• Importance of preventing MRSA HAIs for all

Veterans• Department of Veterans Affairs, issued VHA

Directive 2007-002, “Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Initiative”

• Implemented a nationwide program to reduce MRSA HAIs in all acute care VA hospitals


153 Acute Care Medical Centers


MRSA Prevention Coordinator (MPC)

• Dedicated person at each facility who:– Oversees implementation of the Initiative at their

facility– Collects and reports data on their program– Provides feedback to front-line healthcare workers– Deals with local challenges


MRSA Data Reporting

• Beginning October, 2007 each facility submitted data monthly to the VA Inpatient Evaluation Center (IPEC) in Cincinnati.

• Aggregate data reported by unit or facility (no patient-specific information)


Definitions

• Healthcare-associated infection (HAI)– MRSA infection occurring >48 hours after admission– Follows CDC/NHSN definitions with minor

adaptations

• Transmission (Tx)– Patients have nasal swabs done on admission, unit-

to-unit transfer, and discharge (active surveillance)– Converting from MRSA negative to MRSA positive is

considered a transmission

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION 15Data from Oct 07 – Jun 11

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION 17Data from Jul 09 – Dec12


Conclusion

• A program of universal surveillance, contact precautions, hand hygiene, and culture change was associated with a decrease in MRSA transmissions and HAIs in acute care, spinal cord injury, and long-term care settings in a large healthcare system.

CDI Rates Among Hospitalized Patients Aged ≥65, 1996-2009

MMWR 2011;60:1171


Burden of CDI

• Recurrence rate quite high– ~20% risk of recurrence after the initial episode of

CDI– ~40% risk of a second relapse– ≥60% risk of a third relapse

• Approximately 15,000 to 30,000 deaths in the United States each year attributable to CDI

24


Risk Factors for CDI

• Antimicrobial exposure• Acquisition of C. difficile • Advanced age• Underlying illness• Immunosuppression• Tube feeds• ? Gastric acid suppression

Environmental Contamination with C. difficile

Riggs, MM. Clin Infect Dis 2007:45;992


Prevention Strategies: Core

• Contact Precautions for duration of diarrhea• Hand hygiene in compliance with CDC/WHO

– Soap and water for hand hygiene before exiting room of a patient with CDI

• Cleaning and disinfection of equipment and environment

• Educate HCWs, housekeeping, administration, patients, & families about CDI

29

Rationale for extending isolation beyond duration of diarrhea

VHA CDI Bundle

• Environmental Management• Hand Hygiene• Contact Precautions• Cultural Transformation

What are Enterobacteriaceae?

E. coli, Enterobacter (cloacae, aerogenes, agglomerans), Serratia marscescens, Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella (pneumoniae, oxytoca)

Sometimes cause community acquired (UTI, pneumonia)

Often cause HAIs (central line bloodstream infection, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, ventilator-associated pneumonia, hospital acquired pneumonia, etc.)

Consequences of Resistance

• Longer hospital stays and more expense • Higher morbidity and mortality when resistance is

initially unrecognized • Inability to treat sick patients as we run out of

efficacious antimicrobials– Aggressive cancer chemotherapy– Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation– Solid organ transplantation– Other aggressive immunosuppressive therapy– Prosthetic joint placement– Routine clean/clean contaminated surgery

41

CRE Vital Signs: Key Points CRE are increasing

1% to 4% overall Over 10% of Klebsiella are

CRE

Most hospitals do not see CRE regularly 4% of hospitals 18% of LTACHs

Most CRE are still healthcare-associated

CRE Summary

• Unrivalled broad-spectrum resistance profile• Susceptible to very few antibiotics• Clinical data for treatment regimens is very

limited• Control involves:

– Antimicrobial stewardship– Infection control– Good environmental management
