ol," to safely remove medically unnecessary catheters and improve the health of the patient.

"We looked at every facet of bladder management, including better ways to assist patients to the bathroom in a timely manner, different types of commodes and engaging the entire care team in the bladder management processes," Felix said. "We implemented education with all members of the care team, including patients and family members, so that everyone understood the process and the benefit to the patient of reduced UTIs."

Felix estimated that their program prevented up to 30 UTIs per month and saved the facility about $1,000 per infection avoided. There were no additional costs associated with implementing these interventions.

"CAUTIs are the most frequent site of healthcare-associated infections," said APIC 2011 President Russell N. Olmsted, MPH, CIC. "Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital deserves recognition for their outstanding success in improving the safety of the patients served at their facility."
