Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common hospital-acquired infections, leading to increased morbidity and length of stay. There is an opportunity to formally track CAUTI rates at Milton District Hospital (MDH), increase awareness of and attention to CAUTI, and ultimately lower CAUTI rates.
This IDEAS team focussed on reducing Catheter-Days per 100 Patient-Days (per week) at MDH on Med/Surg, CTC, and 2N Regional Units by 20% by Mar 22, 2019
