    In 2006 in an effort spearheaded by Plexus Institute, six Beta Site hospitals, CDC, Positive Deviance Initiative, and Delmarva Foundation came together to pioneer the first use of Positive Deviance (PD) to reduce the transmission of MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) in healthcare organizations. The article, published by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control, presents the work of these hospitals, the results they achieved which include dramatic sustained reductions, a primer on PD, and suggestions for employing PD to prevent MRSA.
