- Abstract
The article outlines the evidence underlying and rationale for creation of a 2-tiered intervention approach that was developed to reduce rates of hospital-onset Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. It mentions that the States Targeting Reduction in Infections via Engagement program brought together national health care professional societies, and state-level health care organizations to identify hospitals struggling to reduce health care associated infections.
