Hello Sony, Even if that were the case, (and none of my ID specialists have said we should), we do not have the resources to separate the two types of patients.

Hi Sony
At Canberra Hospital we cohort by VRE type, so A’s go with A’s, B’s with B’s and B2,3 with B2,3.
If beds get really tight we may put a B with a B2,3

Dear Sony
We are seeing increasing VRE here in particular Van A (HA & CA) & on
the odd occasion if we do need to cohort our ID / Micro has indicated
we can do this using contact precautions
Their concern was more with us mixing our MRSA strains actually ..this
they thought was the greater risk….mmm interesting..Sorry to ask the age old infexion connexion again……
Also can I ask is anyone successfully deflagging VRE pts .. here in
NSW our state MRO policy does not currently provide any advice (?due
to lack of evidence) however many sites have developed or shared with me
already their set of guidelines / procedures etc. (especially chronic
renal) which many have indicated to me are more out of out of
frustration, need & pressure from clinicians / management to do so…..
.but what I was after was any good published literature/ research/
evidence around the practice for successfully deflagging VRE pts and
the risks around this that you are happy to share.
There is lots of other documents /policy’s etc sited in others
documents but not a lot of hard scientific data/ evidence so would
appreciate if anyone had some to share to help me out.thank you in advance for any help
regards
