Course Access
Dear Wendy,
We have only recently closed our medical ward, which I assume you would
have defined as “sub-acute”. We have an acute surgical ward and post
natal also. As post caesarian section patients are nursed on post
natal, they need to be classified as surgical.
When the medical ward was still open; patients with confirmed MROs were
treated with full precautions; just as they are in the surgical ward. We
could not risk HAIs in any of our patients, and are very aware of our
higher risk surgical areas.
So – in a nutshell – our policy for MRO management is across the board.
Hope this is some help

Dear Colleagues
I am wondering does anyone have a policy in the way you care for
patients with MRO’s in a acute versus subacute unit.
In saying this a definition to cover sub acute has also been difficult
to come by and am wondering if anyone can help this as well.
