Effect of CAUTI Prevention Alert - A Randomized Control Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Infection Due to Indwelling Urinary Catheter

In brief

This study proposes to expand upon previous research by studying the effects of a urinary-catheter removal alert on duration of urinary catheter use and frequency of CAUTIs with a large, randomized controlled trial within a three-hospital academic medical center. Hypothesis The proposed urinary-catheter removal alerts will decrease the number of catheter days and decrease the number of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), but will not affect the catheter re-insertion rate.
