Infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms are perceived to be serious problems in the management of infectious diseases. There are proven ways to prevent and control the spread of these infections. Addressing the challenge of multidrug-resistant organisms in healthcare requires collaboration between the laboratory and infection prevention department.

In this webinar, Richard A. Van Enk, Ph.D., CIC discusses:

• What a multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) is and why it is important
• Best-practice approaches or steps to address MDROs
• An important laboratory--infection prevention collaboration; active surveillance
• Designing the best MDRO approach for your setting
