The Infection Control Practitioner (ICP) is responsible for giving this to the RN caring for the patient or the ICP communicates directly with the patient. This informational sheet is provided at the same time the MD progress note is placed in the patient's chart. This sheet is also being given to patients discharged from the emergency department with previous or known history of MRSA.
