Hi everyone,

I’m looking to understand how different teams are currently being notified when a patient with a history of infection (e.g., MRSA, C. diff, ESBL, etc.) is admitted.

Could you please let me know:

1. How does your team get alerted when a patient with a previous infection history is admitted?
– Do you receive automated electronic notifications?
– Do staff check systems manually?
– Is it communicated verbally?

2. Does your team routinely follow these patients up ?

3. Are there any gaps or challenges with the current notification process?

Thanks in advance for your input.
