MRSA Action welcomes new CQC study into hospitals and care homes
Wednesday 23rd September 2009
A new study by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) involving the prevention of avoidable infections has been welcomed by MRSA Action UK.
The CQC is examining arrangements for care homes and hospitals to work in conjunction with each other in this area and the charity said it hopes the research will enable it to better understand the measures required to make improvements.
MRSA Action claimed to be in favour of a "joined up approach" to care and stated that good communication is the key to making this work.
Pointing to a programme by the Improvement Foundation that has had success in this regard, it stated: "We would like to see the CQC look at this good practice and ensure that all care providers are taking their responsibilities seriously and not working in isolation."
Founded by a number of people who have had their lives affected by MRSA, the organisation campaigns for better standards in hospitals and other healthcare facilities in order to improve safety.
