FREDERICKSBUG — VHA Inc., a national healthcare alliance, has recognized Mary Washington Hospital as a leading practice hospital for its work in preventing and managing hospital acquired MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
As a leading practice hospital, Mary Washington Hospital is working with VHA clinical experts to develop an electronic blueprint that maps out the steps proven to be the most effective and efficient methods of preventing MRSA.
A team of VHA clinical experts visited MWH on Tuesday to study the clinical processes the hospital follows to prevent the spread of MRSA among patients. The alliance and the hospital staff will collaborate to develop a blueprint that maps out each step in the care process, ensuring that the blueprint outlines transferable knowledge and practice patterns.
Once the blueprint is developed, alliance will disseminate it to 1,400 VHA member hospitals nationwide and encourage them to incorporate the practices into their patient care practice.
