medicalnewstoday.com New Jersey: The state Assembly on Thursday approved legislation that would improve hospitals' monitoring of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus outbreaks and identify hospitals that commit medical errors, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. One bill would require hospitals to create and launch an infection control plan in their intensive care units within one month of the law's enactment and to expand the plan facility-wide "as quickly as feasible." Hospitals would be required to screen all incoming patients and isolate those who test positive for the disease. A second bill would require the state to collect information about MRSA outbreaks at hospitals and post the information on its Web site. Both bills have passed in the state Senate and now move to Gov. Jon Corzine (D) for consideration.
