Nozin, leaders in developing and implementing MRSA / MSSA risk mitigation programs, introduces NOVASM. A proprietary suite of tools and services, NOVASM programs are guided by experienced consultants and proven to reduce infection risks while improving patient care.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections are a major component of total healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
Patients who are colonized with MRSA in the nares are 14 to 20 times more likely to acquire MRSA infection than non-carriers.
NOVASM colonization risk mitigation programs reduce colonization, which reduces infection risk.
Facilities that have adopted the NOVA programs approach are reporting significant outcomes such as:
| 96% |
reduction in MRSA bacteremia hospital-wide2 Advent Health North Pinellas, FL |
| 100% |
reduction in total hip and knee SSI2 Wellstar Cobb Hospital, GA |
| 74% |
decline in MRSA bacteremia2 Jackson Health System, FL |
