The Veterans Affairs MRSA Prevention Initiative was implemented in October 2007. MRSA healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rates were tracked over 8 years. Monthly HAI rates fell 87.0% in intensive care units (ICUs) and 80.1% in non-ICUs MRSA HAI rates fell 80.9% in spinal cord injury units and 49.4% in long-term care. All were all statistically significant declines (P < .0001 for trend).
