Checklist to Prevent MRSA Surgical Site Infections

NCT02216227 NA COMPLETED Results posted

The goals of this project are 1) to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the checklist to prevent MRSA SSIs among Veterans undergoing TJA or cardiac surgery, and 2) to assess barriers and facilitators to checklist implementation. Hypotheses: 1. The SSI checklist will be effective at reducing MRSA SSIs among total joint arthroplasty and cardiac surgery patients. 2. Implementation of the checklist will be associated with an overall reduction in SSIs caused by all pathogens. 3. The SSI Checklist will be cost-saving since it will prevent many expensive SSIs. 4. Preoperative MRSA testing will be a modifiable barrier to implementing the SSI checklist.
