While patient falls always were reported to the Hospital Quality Management Committee and to the Nursing Quality Management Committee at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, most reports were made anecdotally. There was no critical review of the cause and effect of falls nor was there any "trending" on a month-to-month basis. Questions raised about specific falls that resulted in patient injuries led Nursing Administration to conduct a retrospective review of all patient falls.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are a type of enterococci bacteria resistant to antibiotics especially vancomycin. Enterococci bacteria typically do not cause problems in healthy people but may cause infections (sometimes serious infections) to patients with weakened immune system in body sites such as the intestines, the urinary tract, and wounds. Because of the increasing resistance to antibiotics, VRE infections are much more difficult to treat than other enterococci infections and are becoming a major type of healthcare-associated infections.
