Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics such as methicillin and cephalosporins. MRSA may cause serious infections to patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems, which are in some cases extremely difficult to treat. In recent years, the rate of MRSA infections has been increasing globally and causing high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare cost.

Numerous studies asses of the quality of patient care through patient satisfaction measures, and others gauge the interaction between caregivers and patients, but physical facilities are also cited as an important contributor to the patient experience. This study considers a Canadian context, where standards differ from those in the US (e.g. semi-private and ward rooms at the time of the study) and patient satisfaction may be less intrinsic as a benchmark, due to the government structure of care.
