Didn't someone once say here that because of CDC guidelines we are to mark MRSA for 1 year? The CDC recommends 1 year monitoring for this diagnosis was the argument, I believe? ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 5:08 PM Subject: Re: Sputum MRSA + I believe that as long as MRSA was treated and resident is not symptomatic there should be no problem and I would not code on the MDS.  I would only code if it affected his/her daily life/care.   Margaret
