Im currently enrolled in school for Clinical Nurse LEader MSN degree, I attend clinical at a local community hospital name Iredell Memorial Hospital. The information I have provided below is from the Diane Collins RN BSN QI Nurse and the nurse that work directly with the unit im assigned 5 north is Linda Thompson, Director of nursing practice and quality, worked with 5 north to identify areas of focus and the unit I am assisgned is focusing on Foley Cath.
-The population of interest is Foley Catheterization Care this is the focus areas for CQI activity and monitoring for 5 north orthopedic unit
-the tracking tool that Iredell Memorial Hospital track rates for both CAUTI infection, for CAUTI infection the rate is based upon the number of infection per 1000 patient day. Iredell Memorial Hospital track Urinary Catheter Utilization rates these rates are based upon the number of device days/the number of patient day. Iredell presently trace these rates by inpatient unit and house wide The calculation of CAUTI rates and device utilization rates are standardized across the healthcare industry as evidenced through literature and NHSN and CMS reporting.
Other units that was identified the ED project will need to identify cath insertions and calculate those to identify catheter insertions and calculate those according to patients seen to establish a baseline rate and ongoing measure for that project. CAUTI infections are currently attributed to the inpatient unit where the patient is located at the time of the infection as long as the patient has been in that location for at least 24 hours. (Pam Gill, Infection Preventionist, can provide additional information on this.) Presently CAUTIs are not attributed to the ED, so device insertion rates and overall housewide CAUTI rates will be evaluated for the ED project. CAUTIs attributed to 5N will be evaluated for the 5N project.
