2106. What Metrics Should We Use to Evaluate CAUTI Performance for Inpatient Rehabilitation Units? An Evaluation of a Large National Healthcare System

摘要

BackgroundThe National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN)’s Targeted Assessment for Prevention (TAP) Strategy is a framework for quality improvement that offers a focused approach to infection prevention. The cumulative attributable difference (CAD) is used as a prioritization metric to identify areas with the highest burden of excess infections. The standardized utilization ratio (SUR) provides risk-adjusted urinary catheter metric beyond traditional device utilization ratios (DUR). We reviewed a TAP Report and SURs for all Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRF) within a large, national healthcare system.
