Policy or procedure for pre-admission CPE screening in elective surgery

Hi there,
Would anyone be willing to share their organisation’s requirements for CPE screening elective surgical patients (pre-admission)?
We have an overarching policy but would like to know if there is any organisation with a specific policy or section for patients coming in for elective surgery.
Many thanks
