CLABSI Palmdale Regional Medical Center, Palmdale, CA Aim Statement Decrease Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection Rate from .4 to .24 from 2011 baseline by December 31, 2013. Why is this project important? An estimated 41,000 central line-associated bloodstream infections(CLABSI) occur in U.S. hospitals each year. These infections are usually serious infections typically causing a prolongation of hospital stay and increased cost and risk of mortality (cdc.gov/nhsn/psc manual.pdf). Changes being Tested, Implemented or Spread Run Charts Lessons Learned • Procedure /dressing change requires two (2) participants, a principle, and assistant. • All supplies related to/used for central lines are kept in a centralized place. (medication room in RED bins). Recommendations and Next Steps • Ongoing surveillance to ensure practice of having a two person dressing change team. • Accountability for sterile procedures. • Encourage the same vigilance with central line processes vs. peripheral IV lines. Team Members • Diane Morrow, RN, Director, ICU-Team Lead • Use of “Swab Caps” with dressings consisting of Biopatch with Sorbeview. (Implemented) • Initiated the use of a CLIP kit (a bundle including drape, mask, gown, sign for outer door) & instructed nursing to close the room door during procedure. (Implemented) • Redirected staff to encourage MD use of jugular over femoral access & to utilize anesthesia providers over cardiology or surgeons. (Implemented) • Jack Schwartz, MPA, CMRP, Director Supply Chain • Karen Faulis, RN, Chief Operating Officer • Michael Cohen, MD, Infectious Disease • Joan Cordova, RN, MSN, Manager, Infection Control • Suzette Creighton, MA, CPHRM, CPHQ, HACP, Director, Quality • Nawanna Chaidez, RN, CPHQ, HACP, Director, Risk Management • David Choi, Director, PharmD, Pharmacy • Tracy Denley, LVN, Infection Control Assistant
