Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI’s)
• At least 20% of episodes are preventable; perhaps as much as 70%
(Harbath et al. J Hosp Infect 2003)
• Medicare no longer reimburses U.S. hospitals for the additional costs of certain infections
• Preventive practices are variably used
• The most common HAI is urinary tract infection
6
Urinary Catheter-Related Infection: Background
• Urinary tract infection (UTI) causes ~ 40% of hospital-acquired infections
• Most infections due to urinary catheters
• Up to 25% of inpatients are catheterized
• Leads to increased morbidity and costs
7
Clinical Manifestations of CAUTI
• Clinical manifestations vary greatly
• Asymptomatic bacteriuria overwhelming sepsis
• Symptomatic UTI:
– Lower abdominal, suprapubic, or flank pain
– Systemic symptoms: nausea, vomiting, fever
8
Burden-of-illness
• Of patients who receive urethral catheters:
– Bacteriuria rate is ~5% per day
• Among those with bacteriuria:
– ~10% will develop symptoms of UTI
– Up to 3% will develop bacteremia
• Direct medical costs:
– Symptomatic UTI: ~$600 per episode
– Bacteremia: ~$3000 per episode (Tambyah et al. ICHE 2002; Saint AJIC 1999)
9
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Rule Changes: 1 October 2008
• CMS now holds U.S. hospitals accountable for not preventing certain hospital-acquired complications
• CMS required to choose at least 2 conditions that:
– are high cost and/or high volume; and
– could reasonably have been prevented through the application of evidence-based guidelines
10
CMS Chose More Than 2 Conditions
• Catheter-associated UTI• Vascular catheter-associated infection• Retained object during surgery• Air embolism• Blood incompatibility• Pressure ulcers• Surgical Site Infections after certain surgical procedures• Falls and Trauma• Manifestations of poor glycemic control• DVT or PE following certain orthopedic surgeries
11
Cost Implications of CMS Rule Change
University of Michigan patient with pneumonia:
• Without complication or comorbidity (CC): $6899
• With CA-UTI (CC): $8495 (~$1600 more)
University of Colorado patient with acute MI:
• Without CC: $5436
• With CA-UTI (CC): $6721 (~$1300 more)(Wald and Kramer. JAMA 12/19/07)

Organisms enter the bladder by 3 ways:
1) At time of catheter insertion
2) Through the catheter lumen (from a colonized drainage bag)
3) Along external surface of the catheter (migrate along the catheter-mucosal interface)

The Indwelling Urinary Catheter:A “1-Point” Restraint?
Satisfaction survey of 100 catheterized VA patients:
• 42% found the indwelling catheter to be uncomfortable
• 48% stated that it was painful
• 61% noted that it restricted their ADLs
• 2 patients provided unsolicited comments that their catheter “hurt like hell”
(Saint et al. JAGS 1999)
15
Make sure the catheter is indicated
• Adhere to general infection control principles (eg, aseptic insertion, proper maintenance, hand hygiene, education, feedback)
• Remove the catheter as soon as possible
• Consider other methods of prevention
Prevention of Catheter- Associated UTI
17
UTI Prevention Rule #1: Make Sure the Patient Really Needs the Catheter
Appropriate indications
• Bladder outlet obstruction
• Incontinence and sacral wound
• Urine output monitored
• Patient’s request (end-of-life)
• During or just after surgery(Wong and Hooton - CDC 1983)

Why are Catheters Used Inappropriately?
• Perhaps physicians “forget” that their patient has a urinary catheter
• We determined the extent to which doctors are aware which of their inpatients have catheters
• Surveyed 56 medical teams at 4 sites
(Saint S, Wiese J, Amory J, et al. Am J Med 2000)
19
One Reason Catheters Are Used Inappropriately
Level Proportion Unaware of the Catheter
Medical students 18%
House officers 25%
Attending physicians
38%
(Saint S, Wiese J, Amory J, et al. Am J Med 2000)

Urinary Catheters Often Placed in the Emergency Department: A National U.S. Study
• Catheters often inserted without clear indications and may remain in place for convenience rather than medical necessity
• An Infection Control Nurse: “our other barrier is the Emergency Department and this is where most Foleys are placed. . . . Doctors forget to look under the sheets to say, ‘Oh yeah, there’s a Foley there’ and … the nurses aren’t going to take the initiative. . . ”
(Saint et al. Infect Cont Hosp Epid 2008)
21
• Make sure the catheter is indicated
Adhere to general infection control principles (e.g., aseptic insertion, proper maintenance, hand hygiene, education, feedback)
• Remove the catheter as soon as possible
• Consider other methods of prevention

– Male Urethral CatheterizationT. W. Thomsen and G. S. Setnik - 25 May, 2006
– Female Urethral CatheterizationR. Ortega, L. Ng, P. Sekhar, and M. Song - 3 Apr, 2008
• Goal is to avoid contamination of the sterile catheter during the insertion process
• Should not assume that the healthcare workers inserting urinary catheters know how to do so
Use Proper Aseptic Technique for Catheter Insertion
23
• Make sure the catheter is indicated
• Adhere to general infection control principles (eg, aseptic insertion, proper maintenance, hand hygiene, education, feedback)
Remove the catheter as soon as possible
• Consider other methods of prevention
Prevention of Catheter-Associated UTI
24
Early Removal of Indwelling Catheters: Summary of the Evidence
• 14 studies have evaluated urinary catheter reminders and stop-orders (written, computerized, nurse-initiated)
– Significant reduction in catheter use
– Significant reduction in infection
– No evidence of harm (ie, re-insertion)(Meddings J et al. Clin Infect Dis 2010)
25
• Make sure the catheter is indicated
• Adhere to general infection control principles (eg, aseptic insertion, proper maintenance, hand hygiene, education, feedback)
• Remove the catheter as soon as possible

• Alternatives to the indwelling catheter
–Bladder ultrasound
–Intermittent catheterization
–Condom catheter

Modified HICPAC Categorization Scheme
All Category I recommendations carry same strength; levels A and B represent the quality of the evidence underlying the recommendation
31
Core Prevention Strategies: (All Category IB)
Catheter Use
InsertionMaintenance
• Insert catheters only for appropriate indications• Leave catheters in place only as long as needed
• Ensure that only properly trained persons insert and maintain catheters
• Insert catheters using aseptic technique and sterile equipment (acute care setting)
• Following aseptic insertion, maintain a closed drainage system
• Maintain unobstructed urine flow
Hand Hygiene

Quality Improvement Programs
32
The Michigan Keystone ICU Project saved over 1,500 lives and $200 million by reducing health care
associated infections.
Office of Health Reform, Department of Health and Human Services
34
“Needs Improvement” Statewide Michigan CUSP ICU Results
• Less than 60% of respondents reporting good safety climate = “needs improvement”• Statewide in 2004 84%
needed improvement, in 2007 23%
• Non-teaching and Faith-based ICUs improved the most
• Safety Climate item that drives improvement: “I am encouraged by my colleagues to report any patient safety concerns I may have” 35
Pre CUSP Work
• Create an ICU team– Nurse, physician, administrator, infection control, others– Assign a team leader
• Measure Culture in your clinical unit(discuss with hospital association leader)
• Work with hospital quality leader to have a senior executive assigned to your unit based team
36
Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) An Intervention to Learn from Mistakes and Improve Safety Culture
1. Educate staff on science of safety http://www.safercare.net
2. Identify defects
3. Assign executive to adopt unit
4. Learn from one defect per quarter
5. Implement teamwork tools
Timmel J, et al. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf 2010;36:252-260.
37
Teamwork Tools
• Call list
• Daily Goals
• AM briefing
• Shadowing
• Culture check up
• TEAMSTepps
38
39
CUSP Lessons Learned• Culture is local
– Implement in a few units, adapt and spread– Include frontline staff on improvement team
• Not linear process– Iterative cycles– Takes time to improve culture
• Couple with clinical focus– No success improving culture alone– CUSP alone viewed as ‘soft’ – Lubricant for clinical change
CUSP & CAUTI Interventions
1. Educate on the science of safety
2. Identify defects
3. Assign executive to adopt unit
4. Learn from Defects
5. Implement teamwork & communication tools
CUSP CAUTI
1. Care and Removal Intervention
Removal of unnecessary catheters
Proper care for appropriate catheters
2. Placement Intervention
