CAUTI Statistics Nationwide 80% of HA UTIs are caused by urinary catheters 5% deaths from HAIs are urinary catheter associated Cost of a CAUTI is estimated at $500-1000, $2800 if bacteremia Source: Michigan Keystone Project, 2008
First Step • Determine specific nursing opportunities to decrease foley related UTI’s • Conducted a one-day prevalence study • Primary aims of the study included • Quantify the level of use of indwelling urinary catheters • Determine the level of adherence to guidelines
Methods • 2007, 2008 & 2010 all units on each campus surveyed • List obtained identifying all patients with Foley and RN providing direct care • Data collector directly observed the catheterized patients and interviewed RN • Data was collected on a standardized form • 2011 & 2012 implemented Adaptive Design methodology
Foley Practice Areas Reviewed • Presence of a Foley catheter • Catheter secured to the pt’s abdomen or leg • Tamper Evident Seal intact (TES) • Tubing extended to prevent the development of dependent loops of drainage tubing • Tubing secured to patient bed or chair to prevent pulling on system • Drainage system not touching the floor • Urine bag not over filled with urine
Percentage (%) of Compliance with Total Foley Practice Areas 2007 2008 2010 Percentage %
Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) PreventionURINE-8
Lessons Learned • Nurse to Nurse Collaboration is a practiced skill • Physician collaboration is key • Physician and Nurse communication / education is paramount • Adaptive Design and daily monitoring drives successful implementation
Conclusion: • HAI’s represent a direct threat to patient safety, healthcare quality and they are costly. • The Urine-8 project has consistently decreased the infection rate and identified the positive financial impact directly attributed to evidence-based nursing practice. • The next step of adding the nurse driven catheter removal protocol will continue to decrease unnecessary Foley days and serve as a tool to meet SCIP criteria and avoid CAUTI.
