Daily electronic medical record reports were used to identify
patients with an IUC and to determine duration of catheterization.
CAUTIs rates were calculated and tracked by the hospital’s infection
preventionist nurses. CAUTI rates for both focused intervention
units for the baseline and postintervention periods were tracked
quarterly. CAUTIs were reported as an absolute number and
a number of infections per 1,000 catheter-days for eligible patients.
