Cepheid GeneXpert(R) System and Xpert(TM) MRSA Selected for up to 11 Victoria, Australia Hospitals in Rollout of 'Start Clean' Strategy
Date:7/28/2008
rting of HAIs, judicious use of antibiotics, hospital cleanliness and hand hygiene.
In addition to the current recommendation for the screening of all high-risk patients, as defined by the 2005 multi-resistant organism consensus conference, the 'Start Clean' strategy also allocates funds to help hospitals implement systems to rapidly diagnose MRSA and other significant organisms.
Other Australian states are closely monitoring the rollout of Victoria's 'Start Clean' strategy. Further trials are underway and are expected to be complete by the end of 2008. This may lead to the rollout of a similar strategy in other states.
