HCA MRSA Study Published in The New England Journal of Medicine

In October 2012, HCA led a comprehensive study testing a new approach to reducing the risk of MRSA. On the success of that study, which involved nearly 75,000 patients over a year and a half and led to a 44 percent reduction in bloodstream infections, HCA implemented the universal decolonization procedure throughout its adult ICUs.

Now, that study has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
