The ABATE Infection Project is a cluster randomized trial of hospitals to compare two quality improvement strategies to reduce multi-drug resistant organisms and healthcare-associated infections in non-critical care units. The two strategies to be evaluated are:

- Arm 1: Routine Care Routine policy for showering/bathing

- Arm 2: Decolonization Use of chlorhexidine as routine soap for showering or bed bathing for all patients Mupirocin x 5 days if MRSA+ by history, culture, or screen
