Is your organization struggling with high central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates? Has your organization experienced an outbreak of CLABSI? Are you looking for resources to educate your staff about preventing CLABSI? Are you experiencing difficulty meeting The Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal to eliminate CLABSI? If you answered yes, then Clinical Care Improvement Strategies: Preventing Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections is your must-have resource to create a successful CLABSI prevention program in your organization.

This book serves as a how-to-guide for frontline staff to eliminate CLABSI. A description of evidence-based best practices for inserting and maintaining central lines provides staff with a handy reference of the do’s and don’ts of central lines. Tips are provided throughout the text to assist with implementing these best practices and increasing staff compliance. If your organization needs some extra help with CLABSI, special practices are also discussed. Organizations will also find information on best practices that have not proven effective, thus saving them time and money. An often overlooked, but key component of a CLABSI prevention program that organizations need to establish is a strong infrastructure; learn how to garner leadership support, empower staff, and establish education programs in your organization. Organizations can also learn by example by following the case studies of other health care organizations that have implemented successful CLABSI elimination programs.
