Pillars / Pillar 08
Multi-drug-resistant organisms are already in aged care. IPS helps your facility detect them, manage colonised and infected residents well, and limit spread — without isolating people unnecessarily.
MDROs are increasingly common in residential aged care, not just hospitals.
Managing spread while protecting dignity and quality of life takes real skill.
Every unnecessary course selects for more resistance — AMS and MDROs go together.
