Should patients who have a history of infection of colonization with a resistant organism during a prior hospitalization be placed on isolation upon readmission to VUMC?

If the patient is readmitted within 90 days from the prior hospitalization, the patient should be placed on empiric isolation. For those presenting greater than 90 days since the prior hospitalization, isolation status will be determined by the Department of Infection Control & Prevention.
