Measure The areas of focus to reach the goal of eliminating CAUTIs will be to decrease device utilization days & standardize catheter care & maintenance procedures 6
Analyze Lack of visual system for communication Lack of developed educational materialscatheter maintenance & peri care No system to track location of bladder scanner & vital sign tower Inadequate availability of catheterization supplies & peri care due to staffing cutbacks in supply & distribution 7
Improve Standardized post op order to remove FC post-op day one 4/13 Facilitated access & education for 8 East charge nurses to pull daily patient catheter report from EPIC 7/25/13 8 East charge RN begins conducting daily FC rounding; monitor white board usage, UC indications & maintenance procedures 7/29/13 8

Control CAUTI rate was 0 in the 2nd quarter 2013 compared to the baseline rate of 4.72 in the first quarter. The unit has achieved the project goal of 0 The device utilization rate (DU) in the 2nd quarter 2013 was 0.15, compared to the baseline rate of 0.17. The 10% DU reduction target has also been attained 13
Spread of project Continued personal engagement Presentation to Quality Council Engaged directors of ICU and Med Surg 8E team is currently spreading through the Medical Center 14
Sustainability of project 15
Sustainability of project 8 East charge RN will maintain daily UC rounding & log results 8 East charge RN will roll-up monthly CAUTI data, provide and share data with IC & 8E staff The IC staff will combine outcome & process data by combining CAUTI & device utilization days to present to the SCIP & QC Team will present A3 to QC & will seek endorsement & create accountability plan to spread the process housewide by year end 2013 The CAUTI team will conduct quarterly meetings for one year ending October 2014 16
