3 Contact Housekeeping Keep your facility contact current for the project at all times If you are leaving your position, going on FMLA, or will be out for a period of time please let the Network know via and let us know if a new contact will be available or who will be the interim contact Keep in mind when things are due for the project so the ball doesn t get dropped on deadlines If the facility is closed for any reason please notify the Network Respond to calendar invites even if you aren t attending, we want you to be there but it is ok to say no!

4 Conditions for Coverage The Network serves as a resource to dialysis facilities to improve their quality of care. CMS has set minimum requirements through the Conditions for Coverage (CFC), for ESRD facilities to participate in the Medicare program. The CFC requires dialysis facilities to participate in Network activities. In addition, the CFC category of patient safety outlines in detail CDCrecommended infection control requirements to help facilities strengthen their infection control procedures and adhere to best practices for HAI prevention. The Network has designed this QIA to build upon what the selected dialysis facilities have already implemented for infection prevention and strengthen these initiatives by providing resources and data monitoring. Failure to participate will result in the Network filing a complaint with the State Survey Agency. If a facility still continues to refuse, the COR will be notified.

6 HAI Background Regardless of the management modality for kidney failure, the risk for acquiring an infection is high. Infection is a leading cause of death in incident patients in their first year of dialysis, ranging from 6.3% in month one to 10.4% in month ten. 1 Overall, in prevalent patients on dialysis, 9.5% of the deaths are caused by infections. 2 Further, dialysis center surveys conducted by CMS in 2014 found problems in infection control activities. 4 Of the 1,928 centers surveyed, 33.6% were cited as being out of compliance for wearing gloves and hand hygiene, and 30.1% were cited for being out of compliance for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and equipment. ESRD patients have compromised immune system Majority of patients have dialysis treatments three times per week 6 needle punctures per week OR Access via an external catheter with the tip located in the right atrium of the heart. 1, 2 Weinhandl, E., Constantini, E., Everson, S., Gilbertson, D., Li, S., Solid, C., Collins, A. (2014). Peer kidney care initiative 2014 report: Dialysis care and outcomes in the United States. American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 65(6, Suppl. 1), S1 S Ball, L., George, C., Duval, L., Hedrick, N. (2016). Reducing blood stream infection in patients on hemodialysis: Incorporating patient engagement into a quality improvement activity. International Society for Hemodialysis, 20: S Payne, G.

7 Why invest in Project WipeOut? Catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) equate to 10% to 20% of all HAIs 1. CRBSIs are the most common cause of nosocomial bacteremia and possess a mortality rate of 25% resulting in an increased length of hospital stay and high treatment costs 2. Patients dialyzed through catheters are 2 to 3 times more likely to be hospitalized for infection and die of sepsis than patients who dialyze with a graft or fistula 3. Given these statistics patients dialyzing via catheters have a higher risk of acquiring a bloodstream infection from their vascular access. Several efforts to expand HAI prevention efforts including coordination of HAI reporting metrics across multiple national agencies, changes in financial incentives by CMS, and federal funding for expansion of state based HAI prevention programs outline the need to improve infection prevention practices. Real world example: 1, 2 Bianco, A., Coscarelli, P., Nobile, C., Pileggi, C., & Pavia, M. (2013). The reduction of risk in central line associated bloodstream infections: Knowledge, attitudes, and evidence based practices in health care workers.

15 Facility Selection Inclusion criteria: First and second quarter of 2016 BSI rate greater than 0.50/100 patient months. Why are facilities not selected using access related BSI results? The overall BSI rate is the only BSI measure that was endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF). CDC submitted various BSI measures for consideration, including an access related BSI measure, but NQF chose instead to only endorse the overall BSI measure therefore that is the measure that was adopted for the CMS ESRD QIP and also for the HAI QIA project in the statement of work.

25 CDC Core Interventions Logistics Chlorhexidine for skin antisepsis: Povidone iodine (preferably with alcohol) or 70% alcohol are alternatives for patients with chlorhexidine intolerance. Catheter hub disinfection: If closed needless connector device is used, disinfect connector device per manufacturer s instructions.

26 CDC Core Interventions Logistics Antimicrobial Ointment CDC recommends using povidone iodine ointment or bacitracin/gramicidin/polymyxin B ointment at the hemodialysis catheter exit site after catheter insertion and at each hemodialysis session Bacitracin/gramicidin/polymyxin B ointment is not currently available in the United States. Triple antibiotic ointment (bacitracin/neomycin/polymyxin B) is available and might have a similar benefit but studies have not thoroughly evaluated its effect for prevention of bloodstream and exit site infections. Single antibiotic ointment have also been studied (e.g., mupirocin) however, concerns exist about development of antimicrobial resistance and their ability to cover the spectrum of potential pathogens (e.g., gram negative and gram positive bacteria) that can cause bloodstream infections in dialysis patients.

27 CDC Core Interventions Logistics Antimicrobial Ointment (cont.) Another important consideration is that ingredients in antibiotic and povidone iodine ointments may interact with the chemical composition of certain catheters. Therefore, before any product is applied to the catheter, first check with the catheter manufacturer to ensure that the selected ointment will not interact with the catheter material.
