03/04/19 SR -- Perioperative Tracking Board - MRSA Screening

Do NOT initiate the medication phase of the pre-op power plan until the MRSA results are reported/retrievable. See screenshot below to see where the culture is ordered (in the PAT and Patient Education phase). If results are retrievable (in the Microbiology tab - Results Review), confirm and/or change antibiotic selection per protocol -> then initiate medication phase.


Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
Sam
