SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose of Meeting: Every 10 years,
through the Healthy People initiative,
HHS leverages scientific insights and

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

that the Office of Management and

information collection project:

comment on this proposed information
collection.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by January 25, 2010.

be submitted to: Doris Lefkowitz,
Reports Clearance Officer, AHRQ, by
e-mail at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Spreading Techniques To Radically
Reduce Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
(Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus
aureus, or MRSA)
Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs)
caused almost 100,000 deaths among
the 2.1 million people who acquired
infections while hospitalized in 2000,
and HAI rates have risen relentlessly
since then. Alarmingly, 70% of HATs
are due to bacteria that are resistant to
commonly used antibiotics, with
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA) being the most rapidly
growing, and among the most virulent,
pathogens. Resistance is increasing
rapidly in all types of hospitals (Huang
2007). Despite evidence that routinely
applied, simple interventions do work,
most hospitals have failed to make
notable progress in reducing MRSA
infections. Hospitals in some European
countries and select U.S. hospitals,
however, have succeeded with
impressive results.
Sites that have already achieved
dramatic decreases in their MRSA
infection rates have done so by
implementing precautions to prevent
transmission, using system redesign
approaches. Further, many hospitals
have successfully instituted isolation
procedures for patients suspected to be
MRSA carriers. In doing so, these
hospitals have followed the broadly
disseminated guidelines for hand
hygiene and contact isolation
precautions. This study is a follow up
to a recent study implemented in 6
hospital systems in the Indianapolis
metropolitan area that used a ‘‘MRSA
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
intervention bundle’’ composed of
active surveillance screening, contact
isolation precautions, and increased
hand hygiene. Preliminary data from
that initial study suggest a 60% decrease
in MRSA rates in participating intensive
care units (ICUs) (Doebbeling, B.
Redesigning Hospital Care for Quality
and Efficiency Applications of Positive
Deviance and Lean in Reducing MRSA.
Presentation at AHRQ Annual Meeting,
Rockville, MD, Sept 2009).
This study is designed to further test
this intervention bundle in non-ICU
settings in hospitals currently using the
intervention bundle in their ICUs, as
well as in additional ICUs in newly
recruited hospital systems. This project
will utilize the same guidelines and
precautions that were applied in the
original study, and will add an
innovative feature that will use
electronic medical record systems to
improve identifying, communicating
and tracking MRSA infections among
healthcare systems. More specifically,
this study has five aims:
(1) Further test the ‘‘MRSA
intervention bundle’’ from the original
Indianapolis MRSA study, and test the
intervention in additional units in the 4
original Indianapolis hospital systems
and an additional 3 hospital systems
beyond Indianapolis;
(2) Identify and monitor healthcare
associated community onset (HACO)
MRSA cases and controls who receive
care in participating hospitals and
affiliated settings, identify strategies to
reduce HACO MRSA and demonstrate
reduction of HACO MRSA;
(3) Assess the relative effectiveness of
various antibiotics in abatement or
eradication of MRSA carriage in
hospital patients;
(4) Evaluate the effectiveness of the
tested implementation strategies and
innovations by applying information
technology to enable consistent
collection, sharing, analysis and
reporting of data;
(5) Disseminate findings and promote
outreach to target audiences and other
stakeholders.
While many secondary data are
available for this study, Aims 1 and 2
involve primary data collection. Use of
the intervention bundle requires that
opinion leaders and front line workers
be equipped with techniques used in
the reorganization of healthcare delivery
to improve health outcomes (Singhal
and Greiner, 2007; IHI, 2005). These
techniques will assist in identifying
goals, implementing the interventions to
meet local needs and measuring and
feeding back progress on key processes
and outcomes to staff and others.
