The primary CAUTI reduction strategies of ensuring aseptic technique during catheter placement and reducing urinary catheter utilization were already in place at our institution. A multidisciplinary team approach, which entailed the use of QI methodology and engagement of frontline staff, resulted in the identification of additional strategies to reduce CAUTI. By implementing these strategies, we successfully reduced CAUTIs and have sustained this reduction through March 2016. The tools created during this project can be easily adapted for use at other institutions.
在我们机构中，确保导管插入过程中的无菌技术以及减少导尿管使用这两种主要的降低导尿管相关尿路感染（CAUTI）的策略已经到位。一种多学科团队方法，其中包括采用质量改进方法以及让一线工作人员参与进来，促成了识别出更多降低CAUTI的策略。通过实施这些策略，我们成功减少了CAUTI病例，并且一直保持这种减少趋势直至2016年3月。在这个项目期间创建的工具能够很容易地改编以供其他机构使用。
