Symbols of Change Take strong, decisive steps forward Take Risks Consider making several changes at one time Disrupt routine
Stop Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (caBSI) 2009 High Risk Areas for CaBSI MICU CTU SICU CTU North 8 CMC In combination were responsible for 67% (56/83) of all line infections Accounted for 50% (11853/23345) of all line days.
Intervention:CHG/Sulfadiazine Impregnated Lines in High Risk Areas Antimicrobial Impregnated catheters in high risk populations Piloted in select areas first MICU CCU Based on results plan to roll out house wide Shorter length catheter keeps sterile dressing intact Standard line length was 20 cm New standard 16 cm Allergy alert stickers on each kit Insert picture of new kit
Stop Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (caBSI) Intervention:New Practice Guidelines Change culture and practice for drawing blood cultures Policy revision – drafted Blood culture algorithm to guide when and how Weekly data shows blood cultures off central lines decreasing
Intervention:New Bathing Technique (Pilot) 1.)Elimination of Wash Bins 2.)CHG Bathing of all patients in high risk locations MICU CCU CTU SICU CMC North 8
