Quality Improvement (QI) Plan: Plan-Do-Study-Act
\nCatheter-associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)
\nQuality Improvement Problem
\nThe selected problem is CAUTI is an infection of the urinary tract which occurs due to irregular cleaning and contamination.
\nData to support QI Problem:
\nGovernment spends $340 million to treat CAUTI annually. There are 449,334 CAUTI infections annually (Wanat et al. 2020). 17 to 69 percent of the infections are treatable. It causes 9000 preventable deaths annually (Mangal et al., 2021).
\nAnalysis of the Evidence to Support QI Problem:
\nLetica-Kriegel et al. (2019) indicate CAUTI is on the rise due to poor catheter use. Wanat et al. (2020) shows that nurses can take actions to prevent it. Mangal et al. (2021) indicates patient education is essential for prevention and treatment.
\nQI Plan:
\nPlan-Do-Study-Act involves developing the action plan, implementing it, analyzing outcomes, and adjusting the steps to achieve quality outcomes.
\nWanat et al. (2020) shows that the model encourages continuous improvement essential in the healthcare environment. Continuous improvement prevents reoccurrence of medical errors.
\nResources to Support the QI Plan:
\nNurses, physicians, and nurse managers
\nLocal pharmacists and volunteers.
\nDiagnostic tools and education manuals<\/p>\n
