About the Book

Preventing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections
Build an Evidence-Based Program to Improve Patient Outcomes

Lucy Bird, RN; Mikel L. Gray, PhD, CUNP, CCCN, FAANP, FAAN; June Marshall, RN, MS, NEA-BC; Laura Maverick; Laura J. Weber, RN, MSN, MBA/HCM


Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are a high-profile hospital-acquired infection and with good reason.
While one in four hospitalized patients are catheterized, a staggering 74% of hospitals do not closely monitor catheter duration. And now the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will no longer reimburse healthcare organizations for treatment of CAUTIs unless the infection is documented as present on admission (POA).

Learn how to build a prevention program to reduce CAUTIs and receive appropriate reimbursement with this exciting book and CD-ROM package. It will help you:

  • Implement a personalized prevention program that builds on your current procedures for monitoring catheter usage and CAUTI rates
  • Effectively track patients with catheters and the duration of each catheterization
  • Educate your staff about evidence-based practices to prevent CAUTIs
  • Train nurses on evidence-based catheter care, including choosing the most appropriate catheter and performing correct care
  • Accurately assess patients and identify those with CAUTIs that are POA

Safeguard your patents against catheter-associated urinary tract infections and ensure your facility receives the reimbursement it deserves. Order you copy today!

Take a look at the table of contents:
Chapter 1: Relating Prevention to the Current Healthcare Environment
Chapter 2: Evidence-Based Practices for Indwelling Catheter Use and Prevention of CAUTIs
Chapter 3: Assessment, Risk, and Need
