2 Josie King Video 18-month-old Josie King died in 2001 as the result of medical errors at the nation s top ranked hospital, Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. Since her death, the King family has worked with Johns Hopkins and other hospitals to make care safer. Medical errors are a leading cause of preventable death in the United States, killing between 44,000 and 98,000 patients in U.S. hospitals every year, more than AIDS, breast cancer or motor vehicle accidents.

6 How are we eliminating CLABSI with CUSP? Staff education Accountability Diligence Review of each case that fails CLABSI Definition Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) is a primary bloodstream infection (BSI) in a patient that had a central line within the 48- hour period before the development of the BSI. NOTE: There is no minimum time period that the central line must be in place in order for the BSI to be considered central line associated. 6

7 Definition : Central Line A vascular infusion device that terminates at or close to the heart or one of the great vessels. The following are considered great vessels Aorta Pulmonary Artery Superior vena cava Inferior vena cava Brachiocephalic veins Internal Jugular veins Subclavian veins External iliac veins Common femoral veins Central Lines Continued Neither the location of the insertion site nor the type of device may be used to determine if a line qualifies as a central line. The device must terminate in one of the great vessels or in or near the heart to qualify as a central line. An introducer is considered a central line. Pacemaker wires and other non-lumened devices Pacemaker wires and other non-lumened devices inserted into central blood vessels or the heart are not considered central lines, because fluids are not infused, pushed, nor withdrawn through such devices. 7

8 Types of Central Lines Temporary - A central line that is non- tunneled. Includes: Central line, PICC, Jugular line Permanent Includes Tunneled catheters including hickmans, apheresis, trifusion and certain dialysis catheters. Implanted catheters (including portacaths). Laboratory Confirmed Bloodstream Infection (LCBI) LCBI Criterion 1 Patient has a recognized pathogen cultured from one or more blood cultures And Organism cultured from blood is not related to an infection at another site. 8

9 Notes about Criterion 1 The phrase, one or more blood cultures means that at least one bottle from a blood draw is reported by the laboratory as having grown organisms. Recognized pathogen does not include organisms considered to be common skin contaminants Examples of recognized pathogens: S. aureus Enterococcus spp. E.coli Pseudomonas spp. Klebsiella spp. Candida spp. Laboratory - Confirmed Bloodstream Infection (LCBI) LCBI Criterion 2 Patient has a least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever (>38C), chills, or hypotension And Signs and symptoms and positive laboratory results are not related to another site And Common Skin Contaminant is cultured from two or more blood cultures on separate occasions. 9

10 Blood Culture Specimen Collection Ideally, blood specimens for culture should be obtained from two to four blood draws from separate venipuncture sites, not through the vascular catheter. These blood cultures should be performed simultaneously or over a very short period of time, i.e. within a few hours. Unit Collaboration Transfers to Facility Standards: ICU and Transplant & Oncology Services team up. Open dialogue Learn from each other Collaboration with other departments GOAL ALWAYS: PATIENT SAFETY! 10

Why did it happen (system lense) What could you do to reduce risk How do you know risk was reduced Create policy/process Ensure staff know policy Evaluate if policy is used correctly Leading Change Technical work Work for which there is know science Eid Evidence and measures Adaptive work Work for which there is no science Requires changes in values attitudes belief Need to get both technical and adaptive work right Adaptive work is usually why programs falter 16

18 Do we believe we can have zero line infections? The state of Michigan has done it! The state of South Dakota is doing it too! CUSP, in combination with evidence based practice, has led to dramatically reduced CLABSI rates at both Johns Hopkins and in the State of Michigan Avera McKennan 2008 Avera McKennan 2010 Avera McKennan 18
