  November 2015 update
  
  This document updates CDC’s Guidance for Control of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE): 2012 CRE Toolkit. Unless otherwise specified, the term healthcare facility refers to all acute care hospitals and any long-term care facility that has patients who remain overnight and regularly require medical or nursing care (e.g., maintenance of indwelling devices, intravenous injections, wound care, etc.). This includes all long-term acute care hospitals and nursing homes providing skilled nursing or rehabilitation services, but generally excludes assisted living facilities and nursing homes that do not provide more than long-term custodial care. In addition, this toolkit is not intended for use in ambulatory care facilities.
