A Quality Improvement Initiative to Reduce Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections by Decreasing Unnecessary Foley Catheter Use in Hospitalized Patients
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) represent 80% of urinary infections in a hospital setting [1]. CAUTIs are not only the most common hospital associated infections, but also are the most avoidable, with up to 69% of the cases being preventable [2]. Approximately nine thousands of deaths each year may be attributable to CAUTIs [2].
