Reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections in a large health system: a quality improvement approach using a fractal management system

Abstract Objective: Although preventable through established infection control practices, catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) remain prevalent in acute-care settings. Our goal was to improve the CAUTI rates through multiple hospitals through implementing sustainable practices, incl...
