Colonized vs local infection
- If MRSA drawn from an abscess or deep in wound and you think it is causing the "local" infection, else code colonization.
Data Use
Julie reported in 2013 that in the past 2 years there were 2 requests for data related to these variables. It was decided that Allan with contact Dr. Embil and see if we can obtain this data from Infection Control. If so, we could import it into the database, and have our data collectors cease obtaining it.
