Vista Health has one of the lowest MRSA infection rates

Vista Health System is pleased to announce Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan has been named by Becker’s Clinical Leadership Review as one of two hundred and sixty-three hospitals in the U.S. that have a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection rate of zero, as based on the healthcare-associated infections dataset from CMS.

Data was collected from October 2022 to September 2023. The CDC calculates a standardized infection ration, which may take into account care location, number of patients with an existing infection, lab methods, hospital affiliation with a medical school, hospital bed size, patient age, and patient health.
