Description

Increasing systemic pressures have forced clinicians to identify and address a variety of metrics to provide better “quality” care. Catheter associated UTIs (CAUTI) are a common health careassociated infection in the Neuro ICU and are associated with increased LOS and overall mortality.

Aims for Improvement: Improving the incidence of CAUTI at the Gibbon and JHN ICUs on an annual basis after incremental interventions.
