Quality Iprovement  
   
In September 2001, the Network 5 Medical Review Board organized The Prevention and Management of Bacterial Infections Task Force. The Task Force was charged with the responsibility of drafting a position statement to address the fact that some Network dialysis providers currently refuse admission to patients who are colonized or positive for Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE), and/or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The resulting paper entitled ADMISSION OF VRE/MRSA COLONIZED OR POSITIVE PATIENTS TO NETWORK 5 DIALYSIS FACILITIES was approved by the Network 5 Board of Directors and Medical Review Board during January 2002, and is presented for your information.
