2. Already in Place? Step 1 URINARY CATHETERS Goal - December 2010 Step 2
Organising a team
Identifying pilot sites (3 areas)
Already in Place?
URINARY
CATHETERS
Step 2
Baseline Data
Agree care bundle for local use
Goal - December 2010
Step 3
Organisations should have tested the care bundle in the pilot sites and be moving to full implementation in the pilot sites with the collection of process and outcome measures
Goal - February 2011
Step 4
Organisations should be able to demonstrate reliable implementation of urinary catheter care bundles in their pilot sites and are spreading to the rest of the organisation
Goal - August 2011 ongoing

3. Pilot Sites Three areas High use of urinary catheters/PVCs
Interested in taking part / engaged
Good leaders / champions for later work.

4. Baseline Data (UC) (minimum requirement)
Numbers of urinary catheters being placed

5. Baseline Data (UC) Number of avoidable catheterisations
List of indications
Audit process retrospectively
Collect prospectively as catheters are placed

6. Baseline Data (UC)
Numbers of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)
Use definitions provided
Assessment of numbers of secondary blood stream infections (UC)
Unit / hospital/organisational
Seek advice from local microbiology departments

7. Process Measures
Appropriateness of urinary catheter placement – monthly audit
% compliance with insertion bundle
% compliance with maintenance bundle

8. Outcome Measures Numbers of urinary catheters inserted
Urinary Catheter Associated Infections (CAUTI):
Incidence (using infection definition and numbers of UC days as denominator)
Time between events (each day of CAUTI and counting days between)
Hospital/organisational level monitoring secondary blood stream infections related to UC.

Organising a team
Identifying pilot sites (3 areas)
Goal - January 2011
PVC
Goal - March 2011 (LS3)
Step 2
Baseline Data
Agree care bundle for local use
Step 3
Testing of care bundle in pilot sites
Implementation in pilot sites
Goal - October 2011
Goal - June 2012 ongoing
Step 4
Demonstrate reliable implementation
Spread beyond pilot sites

13. PVC Timeline Step 1 – January 2011
Organisations should have put together a team to take forward the work on PVC within their organisations and chosen three pilot sites.
Step 2 – March 2011
Organisations should have established the use of Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) scoring when checking PVC sites, collecting baseline data in the three pilot areas and agreed a care bundle for use.
Step 3 – October 2011
Organisations should have tested the care bundle in the pilot sites and be moving towards full implementation in the pilot sites with collection of process and outcome measures.

14. Step 4 – June 2012
Organisations should be able to demonstrate reliable implementation in the pilot areas and have developed and started to implement a spread plan for the rest of the organisation.
October 2012
Organisations should be able to demonstrate effective spread of PVC care bundles across their organisation with sustainability of practice.

15. Baseline Data (PVC) (minimum requirement)
Number of PVCs being placed
Establish a system for monitoring the PVCs and assessing them using the Visual Infusion Phlebitis Score (VIP):
Document numbers of PVCs with a VIP score of ≥2

16. Baseline Data (PVC)
How many per day require removal / replacement on the basis of their VIP (removed appropriately - Y/N)

17. Baseline Data (PVC) NHS Tayside (Safer Patient Network):
MRSA/MSSA infections
Hand hygiene compliance
Consider monitoring 20 Blood Stream Infections related to PVCs
MRSA / MSSA, but also other organisms
Most useful at Unit / Hospital / Organisation level.

19. Process Measures % Compliance with the Insertion bundle
% Compliance with the Maintenance bundle

20. Outcome Measures
Number of PVCs used

21. Outcome Measures Incidence of local phlebitis/infection:
-Incidence – note each case of VIP ≥ 2 or documented local infection (red inflamed site with positive cultures), using number of PVC days as denominator.
-Time between event, monitoring of each case of VIP ≥ 2 for local infection (as above), counting days between each event.

22. Outcome Measures
At hospital/organisation level monitoring of secondary blood stream infections related to PVCs.

23. Devices Safety Briefing PVCs
1. How many patients have a cannula in situ?
2. How many can be removed?
3. How many cannulae need to be inserted?
4. Of those cannulae inserted, how many were completely compliant with the insertion bundle?
5. Of those cannulae in situ, how many have been compliant with the maintenance bundle today?
6.How many newly confirmed VIP scores of ≥ 2 today?

Care bundles

25. Criteria
Yes No
Clinical Exception
Avoid unnecessary cannulation!
Hand hygiene performed before collecting sundries, including gloves (consider using aseptic non-touch technique)
Small gauge cannula selected where possible
Site prepared and allowed to dry using antisepsis pre-placement of cannula
Cannula sited where it can be seen, where possible.
Insertion site kept covered, with an intact sterile IV designated dressing and checked.
Sharps discarded immediately/safely.

26. Criteria
Yes No
