VRE, ESBL and MRO Colonization

The WRHA had special protocols in place for patients who are VRE or ESBL or MRO colonized until early 2016. We tracked this colonization for them. When the special protocols were stopped we stopped collecting it.

Only code if showing clinical signs & symptoms of an infection related to having VRE or ESBL or MRO.--Trish Ostryzniuk 16:22, 2016 February 8 (CST)
  • Also see; Staff FAQ RE VRE
  • We will continue to track VRE infections in the DX code, when they are ID'd and causing symptoms. Hospitals will no longer be "screening" specific patient's if they are carriers (colonizers) of this pathogen nor will they be putting these patients on Contact Precaution.


Collector will still track as a DX if VRE or ESBL or MRO is causing of symptoms of infection, but won't mark in TASK if contact precaution/isolation if they are not applied.

  • SBGH as of Feb 8th we are not isolating VRE positive or ESBL positive pts (active infections or colonized) Laura kolesar.
