ABSTRACT

A multidisciplinary team approach is a necessity when caring for the wounded warriors, especially in matters of infection control. Healthcare providers can be very resourceful. The healthcare team at an echelon 5 military treatment facility made changes in their infection control practices to prevent cross-contamination of a multidrug resistant bacterium. Each member was a vital part in the decision-making process to change behavior and old habits.
