Аннотация
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: The acute care division of a tertiary medical center experienced a 167% increase in catheter-associated urinary tract infections, with 2 inpatient surgical units accounting for 67% of infections. A quality improvement project was implemented to address the infection rates on the 2 inpatient surgical units. The aim was to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates by 75% in the acute care inpatient surgical units.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT/PROGRAM: A survey identified educational needs of staff, with response data informing the development of a quick response code containing resources for prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Champions rounded on patients and audited maintenance bundle adherence. Educational handouts were disseminated to increase compliance with bundle interventions. Outcome and process measures were tracked on a monthly basis.
OUTCOME: Infection rates decreased from 1.29 to 0.64 per 1000 indwelling urinary catheter days, catheter utilization increased 14%, and maintenance bundle compliance was 67%.
CONCLUSION: The project enhanced quality care through the standardization of preventive practices and education. The data reflect a positive effect on catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates from increased awareness of the nurse's role in the prevention process.
