Translating the Science of Infection Prevention into Sustainable Solutions for Reducing Surgical Site Infections
A model for infection preventionists to enhance translation of infection prevention science into sustainable solutions for reducing surgical site infections (SSIs) is presented. The model focuses on the premise that both flatline and frontline surveillance lead to risk assessment and performance improvement. Tools for frontline-flatline surveillance, risk assessment, project management, interdisciplinary communication, cuing performance, positive deviance, and education to improve practice compliance before processes are out of control are all addressed.

Presenter: Jason E. Farley, PhD, MPH, CRNP Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) ACUTE CARE Reducing Urinary Tract Infection in the Hospital Setting
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common in the hospital setting and lead to added morbidity and cost. The best way to prevent CAUTIs is to not have a urinary catheter (UC) inserted. Strat- egies for reducing CAUTIs include appropriate placement and maintenance of UCs, and prompt removal
