The VA MRSA Prevention Program - The Veterans Affairs Pittsburgh Healthcare System (VAPHS) has worked directly with Mission Critical to co-produce a 30 min educational program documenting their successful MRSA PREVENTION PROGRAM. Mission Critical’s camera crews filmed demonstrations and interviews on location with senior VAPHS personnel to deliver the VA Process, Culture Change, Measurement best practices and expert insight into the Roles and Responsibilities of their program leadership.
The VA combined the lessons learned in preventing MRSA, HAI using the TPS model with the use of Positive Deviance to promote ownership of the MRSA problem and solutions by staff and patients. This new approach fostered a cultural transformation from within to combat the prevalence of MRSA HAI at the VAPHS.
