The problem with people who are carrying MRSA is that the bacteria can spread at hospitals if not discovered in time.

As in previous years the number of hospital acquired cases continued to be very low:

MRSA guidelines are effective The low incidence of hospital-acquired infections indicates that the Danish regulations function very well

In hospitals Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of post-surgery infections. In 2012 MRSA was identified in 1556 people.

Only 67 people were infected at hospitals which is at the same level as in 2011 (58 cases).

ipads still scarce in hospitals; Apple's secret plan to change thatwhen I started writing about biomedical tech,

I figured ipads in hospitals would be the story to follow. And yes, every week or so, there's news of iphone apps for health purposes

But as it turns out, the jury's still out on the usefulness of tablets in hospitals, NPR reports.

At the University of California, San diego Hospital, a physician assistant uses an ipad 2 to update a patient â oe who just received a brand new kidney â oe on his recovery.

and less than 1%of hospitals have fully functional tablet systems. Even at UC San diego, their electronic record system has a read-only app for the ipad (which means it can't be used for entering all new information.

Not to mention major concerns about spotty wireless in hospitals logging doctors off as they move around, distracted doctors,

says another reason more hospitals aren't using tablets is that they've already invested millions into electronic record systems that aren't compatible with them.

it requires that hospitals cough up a lot more money. Hospitals won't be willing to do that when they aren't even sure that tablets will make things easier.

The federal government is giving hospitals financial incentives to implement electronic medical records, but the most popular systems don't yet make apps that allow doctors to use the records on a tablet the way they would on a desktop or laptop.

To use a mobile device effectively requires a complete redesign of the way information is presented. ON THE OTHER HAND, Apple has a secret plan to steal your doctor's heart.

Apple is pushing the ipad into hospitals playing against its well-polished image as the world's most successful consumer gadget company, Wired reports.

Some hospitals are getting ready for some big rollouts. The Veterans Administration started soliciting bids from contractors to help them manage as many as 100

000 tablet users across its network of 152 hospitals. It's not entirely clear why Apple cares so much about doctors.
