Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial of Hospitals to Reduce Healthcare-Associated Infections and Readmissions Through Routine Bathing With Antiseptic Soap and Targeted Use of Nasal Antibiotic Ointment (ABATE Infection Trial)

The ABATE Infection Project is a cluster randomized trial of hospitals to compare two quality
improvement strategies to reduce multi-drug resistant organisms and healthcare-associated
infections in non-critical care units. The two strategies to be evaluated are:

- Arm 1: Routine Care Routine policy for showering/bathing

- Arm 2: Decolonization Use of chlorhexidine as routine soap for showering or bed bathing
for all patients Mupirocin x 5 days if MRSA+ by history, culture, or screen

Note that enrolled "subjects" represents 53 individual HCA Hospitals (representing ~190
non-critical care units) that have been randomized.


Inclusion Criteria:

- All HCA hospitals that reside in the United States

- Note: Unit of randomization is the hospital, but the participants are hospital units

Exclusion Criteria:

- Non-critical care units where chlorhexidine bathing or decolonization for MRSA+
non-critical care patients is routine

- Pediatric, peri-partum, rehabilitation, psychiatry, and BMT units

- Units with >30% cardiac or hip/knee orthopedic surgeries

- Unit average length of stay <2 days

- Patients <12 years-old

- Patients with known allergy to mupirocin or chlorhexidine
