The Challenge of CAUTIs
Despite diligent efforts, many healthcare providers still struggle with preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), which remain a significant issue affecting patient safety and leading to substantial financial costs. Reducing CAUTIs involves more than just adhering to standard care bundles; it requires addressing variations in practice, product usage, and processes that can compromise care quality. This session introduces a simple, three-step framework designed to help healthcare teams effectively manage catheter-related risks and incorporate best practices into daily routines. By optimizing care practices and fostering a strong safety culture, healthcare professionals can significantly reduce the incidence of CAUTIs and enhance patient outcomes.
Implementing Effective Strategies
By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to drive infection prevention efforts in their organizations. First, you will gain a deeper understanding of the key forces driving infection prevention in today’s healthcare environment, particularly the focus on eliminating device-related infections. Next, you will learn how to create a robust CAUTI prevention strategy by outlining a risk framework and integrating evidence-based practices. Finally, we will explore potential barriers to implementing new practices and discuss practical solutions to overcome these challenges, empowering you to lead change with confidence and safeguard your patients from CAUTIs.
