WHY KEEP PUSHING? >13,000 deaths annually 2 CAUTIs 70% CAUTIs are preventable 30% Foleys inserted in ED are unnecessary For each Foley Day, the risk of CAUTI is 10% Yoko et al. SHEA A Compendium of Strategies to Prevent Healthcare-Associated Infections in Acute Care Hospitals (2014) 9/29/2016 6

Grandview Strategies: Device Utilization Reduction Nurse-Driven Removal Policy/Protocol Review Necessity -BSR/Safety Huddles/IP Rounding Daily monitoring of unit-specific device use Straight Cath every 6-8hrs/Foley alternative ED- Foley reduction initiative Networking/Engagement Communication w/m.ds, staff 9/29/2016 9
COMMUNICATION & NETWORKING MAGIC QUESTIONS 1. Does the doctor know when they have a HAC? 2. Are you notified ASAP when coding finds a HAC? 3. Was it simply Asymptomatic Bacteriuria? 4. Have you checked M.D. Order Sets? 5. Why, Why, Why. usually leads to the root cause 9/29/2016 10
