Central Venous Catheter Insertion Train the Trainer

Completed

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

The investigators previously successfully implemented a central venous catheter (CVC) simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) curriculum at Northwestern University. As a result, trainee skill improved, complications, including central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) decreased and the curriculum was proven cost-effective. Therefore the Veterans Administration Medical Centers (VAMC) decided to implement this training at some of their sites as a quality improvement project. The investigators will train faculty at these locations to implement the same curriculum at their individual sites. Outcome data will be collected to evaluate the outcomes of the quality improvement (QI) project (complications, infections, skills).
