    Hi all

    I am seeking some information on current practices on ‘clearing’ patients from requiring transmission based precautions for MRO carriage on re-admission. I am aware of different guidelines about ‘clearance’ for MRO’s, but wondered if any facilities actively tries to clear a patient after discharge to the community (not via facility outpatient visits). We are looking at trialling a program for providing patients with information and pathology forms on discharge to have specimens collected with their GP or private pathology collection centre to assist to ‘clear’ them from the MRO prior to the next admission. Obviously this will need to done in conjunction with our current ‘clearance’ guidelines (eg no current wounds, no antibiotic treatment within a specified time frame, no indwelling devices, correct specimen types, etc).

    Is anyone doing this currently? Has anyone tried this and stopped?

    I hope you this question is clear. Thanks for any responses.

    Cheers

    Hello Michael
    here at TCH we have been supplying more a letter to the GP re clearance. Happy to send to you if you would like.
    We receive a print also of the patients attending outpatients and this has been a good way to help with clearance swabs
    Back to the GP way of seeking clearance, we are continuing even though we have had mixed results I do think it helps with education and information for the GP. We have also placed a posting in the GP liaison newsletter to help with the process.
    Happy to talk off line if you wish.

    Hi Michael,

    For years now Katie and I have sent letters to the GP / Specialist inviting them to participate in screening as per Chrisp screening protocols. We do see some GPs take it on their own back and conduct screening however this would only equate to a small group.

    We also send the letter out esp. for those patient who have been discharged prior to results being known, file them in their Med records charts so when the readmit there is a record that we have notified their health provider. Again not all GPs will pass this information on for us.

    Thanks,

    Hi Michael

    We offer post discharge clearance to our patients via a nurse-led clearance clinic. We did attempt active recruiting to the clearance clinics, although the results for clearance were very pleasing, it was a very labour intensive process.

    We now offer this service via information provided at the time of the result or direct request from the patient. We have a well documented pathway and correspondence documents for this process which we would be happy to share.

    We have tried to engage GPs with this process with limited results.

    A very important factor is that MRSA screening is not covered by Medicare so healthcare facility must bare the cost of pathology tests, or if the patient chooses to have this performed by their GP the patient should pay for the pathology.

    The rationale for this not being covered by medicare is that it is not a clinically indicated procedure (in the majority of instances).

    Cheers
