3 Patient Story: 63 year old Male Admit date: 11/1/11 Found Down with core body Temp of 80 Degrees Fahrenheit h Temp Sensing silver-latex Foley and rectal temp probe placed 11/1/11 with negative urine cx. 11/5/11 Temp and >100,000cfu Staph Hominis from Urine cx. Pt c/o Pain/Burning Organism 100% NF susceptible based on published in vitro data. Are temp sensing Foley Catheters necessary? 5 Guiding Principle Design processes so maintenance occurs reliably for Every patient Every time Every shift Every clinical caregiver 6 3

4 Routine Maintenance: Do Practices to Avoid: Do Not Maintain a sterile, continuously closed drainage system Irrigate catheters, except in cases of catheter obstruction Keep catheter properly secured to prevent urethral traction Disconnect the catheter from the drainage tubing Keep collection bag below level of the bladder at all times-not on floor Replace catheters routinely; if you must, use aseptic technique Maintain unobstructed urine flow Clean periurethral area with antiseptics while catheter in place Empty collection bag regularly; don t allow draining spigot to touch the collecting container Break junction between catheter and collection tubing when collecting for urine samples IHI Improvement Map.

11 Background Indwelling urinary catheters can place patients at high risk for catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). These infections can: o Prolong Hospitalization o Increase Healthcare Costs o May Result in Sepsis or Death Evidence-based guidelines have been developed to standardize care and reduce risk, however, no clear consensus exists on most effective implementation. Objectives This study aims to evaluate the effects of a hospital-wide intervention by measuring 1) Catheter Associated UTI (CAUTI) Rates 2) Rate of Device Utilization (indwelling urinary catheter days) 3) Percentage of Devices Removed by Postoperative Day Two (SCIP Inf-9) 11

12 Methods A pre-test post-test intervention study design was used to evaluate outcomes. o Descriptive Statistics o Independent t-tests The multi-factorial intervention was based on current evidence for CAUTI prevention and included: o Policy Revision o Daily Medical Necessity Documentation o Computerized Education Module o Systematic Surveillance and Feedback Intervention Policy Revision Included: o Criteria for Insertion of Foley o Daily Medical Necessity Order Checklist o Pre Insertion Perineum Care o Securement Device o Collection Bag Maintenance Below Level of the Bladder o Perineum care changed from each shift to every day based on Evidence Based Practice recommendations 12

13 Intervention Computerized Education Module o Developed utilizing Health Stream o Required by all staff with patient contact o Nursing Module in depth training o Ancillary staff module i.e. Radiology, PT, OT, and Patient Transport which focused on drainage bag placement. Methods Data collected from 9 inpatient units o Pre-intervention period March 2009 through March 2010 o Post-intervention period April 2010 through o Post intervention period April 2010 through December

14 Results Rate per 1000 Catheter days CAUTI Rate Hospital Wide February 1, 2010 House wide Education for new policy and trial on general Medical Unit 2.1 April 1, 2010 Facility wide implementation of CA-UTI Reduction Bundle Pre Intervention Rate 2.0 Post Intervention Rate 1.4 P= CAUTI Rate CA-UTI Trend Results Hospital Wide Catheter Utilization Rate P =0.005 Catheter Days/Patient Days x month Pre-Intervention 9 month Post-Intervention 14

15 Conclusions A significant reduction in device utilization was accomplished. A statistically significant reduction in CAUTI rate was not achieved during the 9-month time period o Goal of 30% rate reduction was achieved Limitations Variation among units in compliance with the new practices likely influenced these findings Tools and processes are needed to improve clinician compliance with daily assessments for medical necessity of catheters 15

16 Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee 2009 If the CAUTI rate is not decreasing after implementing a comprehensive strategy to reduce rates of CAUTI, consider using antimicrobial/antiseptic-impregnated catheters. The comprehensive strategy should include, at a minimum, the high priority recommendations for urinary catheter use, aseptic insertion, and maintenance (see Section III. Implementation and Audit). (Category IB) (Key Question 2B) 16

17 Objectives The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a product conversion from silver impregnated latex Foley catheters to Nitrofurazone impregnated silicone Foley catheters on.

19 Cusum Chart Significance and Implications: Internal average cost per case of CAUTI using Premier Software $18,003 per incident. Using this number a nursing-led research initiative potentially saved the facility more than $800, over a two year period. 19

20 Significance and Implications: Nitrofurazone-impregnated catheter may reduce CAUTI events among hospitalized inpatients. Longer time periods will be needed to increase confidence in the preliminary findings. New products may allow organizations to reach goals of zero CAUTI events Contact Information Marc Chavez RN BSN o o mchavez@kmc.org 20
