  13. Multi-drug Resistant Organisms: Organizing Your Interventions

  14. Delivery of Healthcare ASC Acute Care LTACH LTC Home How do you maintain quality and continuity of care across settings?

  15. Organizing - Surveillance • What is important in your facility? • Are certain residents high risk? • Documentation new residents status? • Infection or colonization with MDRO • Start small and keep it simple • Trends over time – run chart • Make data available to all staff

  16. Organizing – Bundles, Checklists • A “bundle”  is a collection of processes (items) needed to effectively care for patients • The idea is to bundle together a small number of elements essential to improving clinical outcomes • A bundle should be relatively small and straightforward − a set of three to five practices or precautionary steps is ideal • A bundle is scored as all or none, no partial credit • Pilot’s check list – manage complexity • Institute for Healthcare Improvement

  17. Clostridium Difficile • Discovered in 1935 by Hall & O’Toole. • Ubiquitous anaerobic gram-positive spore forming bacillus. • Causes 20-30% of all antibiotic associated diarrhea • Named “difficult clostridium” due to its resistance in isolation and growth. • In 1978 C. difficile produced toxin was found in patients with antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis. Not all strains toxigenic. • Normally found in ~ 3% adults and 15-60% children < 1 yo, 10% to 20% of hospitalized patients • Rate and severity of C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDI) increasing • New strain of C.difficile with increased resistance and virulence identified. LaMont, 2006

  18. Prevention Strategies: Core • Contact Precautions for duration of diarrhea • Hand hygiene in compliance with CDC/WHO • Cleaning and disinfection of equipment and environment • Laboratory-based alert system for immediate notification of positive test results • Educate about CDI: HCP, housekeeping, administration, patients, families http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/id_CdiffFAQ_HCP.html Dubberke et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2008;29:S81-92.

  19. Prevention Strategies: Supplemental • Extend use of Contact Precautions beyond duration of diarrhea (e.g., 48 hours)* • Presumptive isolation for symptomatic patients pending confirmation of CDI • Evaluate and optimize testing for CDI • Implement soap and water for hand hygiene before exiting room of a patient with CDI • Implement universal glove use on units with high CDI rates* • Use sodium hypochlorite (bleach) – containing agents for environmental cleaning • Implement an antimicrobial stewardship program * Not included in CDC/HICPAC 2007 Guideline for Isolation Precautions

  20. Rationale for considering extending isolation beyond duration of diarrhea Bobulsky et al. Clin Infect Dis 2008;46:447-50.

  21. Outline of a C. difficile “Bundle of Bundles” • Prompt identification and isolation of cases • at first suspicion • Laboratory testing • Hand hygiene • Environmental cleaning • Antimicrobial stewardship • Surveillance • Visitors • ???

  22. LTCF and Reporting HAI Texas Healthcare-associated Infection and Preventable Adverse Event Reporting

  23. NHSN (National Healthcare Safety Network) see packet material • Voluntary, secure, internet-based surveillance system • Integrates patient and healthcare personnel safety surveillance systems • Managed by the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) at CDC. • Open to all types of healthcare facilities in the United States, including acute care hospitals, long term acute care hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient dialysis centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and long term care facilities.

  24. HAI Reporting View reports & comment CMS

  25. Significance of Multi-Drug Resistant Microorganisms

  26. MDRO definition • MDROs are defined as microorganisms, predominantly bacteria, that are resistant to one or more classes of antimicrobial agents • Although the names of certain MDROs describe resistance to only one agent (e.g., MRSA, VISA/VRSA, PRSP) • extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and others that are resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobial agents, are of particular concern • In addition to Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae intrinsically resistant to the broadest-spectrum antimicrobial agents • Fairly common to the Gram negative bacteria • Acinetobacter baumannii resistant to all antimicrobial agents, or all except imipenem • Stenotrophomonas maltophilia - Burkholderia cepacia -Ralstonia pickettii http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/mdro/mdro_2.html

  27. CRE invades U.S. health care facilities

  28. Spread of Carbapenemase Producers

  29. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) • Common cause of HAIs • Found in both acute care hospitals and long-term care settings • Since 2004, reports of CRE cases from LTACH and LTCF • Similar to the spread of other MDROs • Movement of colonized patients across the continuum of care contributes to regional transmission • Supported by mathematical modeling Urban C et al. Clin Infect Dis 2008;46:e127030 Endimiani A et al. J Antimicrob Chemother 2009;64:1102-1110. Smith DL et al. PNAS 2004;101:3709-14.

  30. Inter-Facility Transmission of MDROs (Including CRE) Munoz-Price SL. Clin Infect Dis 2009;49:438-43.

  31. Healthcare CommunityKPC outbreak, Chicago 2008 Clin Infect Dis 2011;53:532-40.

  32. Urine Culture Result

  33. Important Concepts for MDRO Transmission • Once introduced, transmission and persistence depend on: • availability of vulnerable patients • selective pressure exerted by AMR use • >potential for transmission with > numbers of colonized or infected patients ("colonization pressure") • impact of implementation and adherence to prevention efforts.

  34. Important Concepts for MDRO Transmission 2 • Patients vulnerable to colonization and infection include • severe disease • compromised host defenses from underlying medical conditions • recent surgery • or indwelling medical devices (e.g., urinary catheters, central lines, or endotracheal tubes • Hospitalized- esp. in ICU

  38. Epidemiologically Important • Common cause of infection • Multidrug-resistant, limited treatment options • Capable of transferring resistance • High mortality rates for invasive infections • Potential to spread out of healthcare settings

  39. What Can Healthcare Professionals Do? • Know if patients in your facility have CRE. • Request immediate alerts when the lab identifies CRE. • Alert the receiving facility when a patient with CRE transfers out, and find out when a patient with CRE transfers into your facility. • Protect your patients from CRE. • Follow contact precautions and hand hygiene recommendations when treating patients with CRE.

  40. What Can Healthcare Professionals Do? • Dedicate rooms, staff, and equipment to patients with CRE. • Prescribe antibiotics wisely (Get Smart for Healthcare). • Remove temporary medical devices such as catheters and ventilators from patients as soon as possible. • Report cases promptly • Communicate!
