+Root Cause Analysis
Nursing Noncompliance Lack of Supplies on the Units Low Nursing Priority Lack of Auditing
+Financial Impact from Primary IV Sets
Cost of Primary Tubing is $8.37 per Tubing Set (based on MedShop.com)
15 total primary tubing sets in noncompliance on 6th floor 30 total sets of primary tubing at $8.37/set, on the floor
costing $251.10 15 additional sets of primary tubing at $8.37/set, to
replace noncompliant tubing costing $125.55 Total cost of primary tubing per day on the 6th floor is
$376.65 With 100% compliance, tubing would cost $91,651.50 in
one year With the Primary Tubing Compliance at 50%, over one
year, the additional cost to replace noncompliant tubing is $45,825.75
+Financial Impact from Secondary IV Sets
Cost of Secondary Tubing is $2.13 per Tubing Set (based on LetMedco.com)
7 total secondary tubing sets in noncompliance on 6th floor 15 total sets of secondary tubing at $2.13/set, on the
floor costing $31.95 7 additional sets of secondary tubing at $2.13/set, to
replace noncompliant tubing costing $14.91 Total cost of secondary tubing per day on the 6th floor is
$46.86 With 100% compliance, tubing would cost $11,661.75 in
one year With the Secondary Tubing Compliance at 53%, over one
year, the additional cost to replace noncompliant tubing is $5,442.15
+Financial Impact for Potential CLABSI’s
$16,350/CLABSI based on research (Ramirez, 2012) For example, the floor has one CLABSI event in a given
calendar year Cost: $16,350.00 for CLABSI event Additional cost: $45,825.75 for noncompliant primary
tubing Additional cost: $5,442.15 for noncompliant secondary
tubing Potential additional cost from noncompliant IV tubing
sets: $67,617.90 for one CLABSI event and noncompliant IV tubing in one calendar year
+National QI Initiatives Five Evidence Based Steps to Prevent CLABSI
Use appropriate hand hygiene Use chlorhexidine for skin preparation Use full-barrier precaution during central venous catheter insertion Avoid using the femoral vein for catheters in adult patients Remove unnecessary catheters
IV Tubing Recommendation for use Replace tubing used to infuse blood or blood products or lipid-
containing solutions at least every 24 hours Replace tubing used to infuse Propofol every 6-12 hours Replace tubing used to infuse solutions containing dextrose and
amino acids without lipids every 72 hours Replace other tubing every 96 hours

+Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections Among Critically Ill Patients in the Era of Bundle Care Level 4 - Systematic Review and Cohort Study Limitations (Lin K-Y, et. al., 2015)
These findings were different from the NHSN report and other studies
Considerable overlap between the definition of CLABSI and CRBSI They assume that diagnosis of CLABSI often overestimates the
true number of infections that are attributable to central lines Sample size was limited to a single medical center The definition of CLABSI had changed since 2011 Compliance rate of intervention bundle and checklist was nearly
95%, so the findings may not be comparable to those in intuitions whose compliance rates are substantially different from theirs
+Disinfection of Needleless Hubs: Clinical Evidence Systematic Review Level 1 - Systematic Review of Current Literature Limitations (Flynn and Moureau, 2015)
Studies spanned from 1977-2014 Lack of high quality research Absence of high quality RCT Low level evidence base Lack of randomization – unintentional bias
+Swab Cap Articles “Reducing Bloodstream
Infection Risk in Central and Peripheral Intravenous Lines: Initial Data on Passive Intravenous Connector Disinfection” (DeVries et. al., 2014)
Provides information on Bloodstream Infection prevention with the use of swabcaps on all ports as an intervention. As a result the BSI’s decreased in both central and peripheral lines overall by 45%. This was an observational study.
“Impact of universal disinfectant cap implementation on central line- associated bloodstream infections” (Merrill, K. C. et. al., 2014)
Provides information on central line associated blood stream infections resulting in length of stay, cost, patient morbidity and mortality. This quasi- experimental study determined the placement of disinfectant caps decreased infection rates by >40% and saved approximately $300,000 per year. Limitations of this study include ongoing education to nurses on the prevention of CLABSI while the study was in progress.
+Change IV Tubing Less Often Not backed by evidence
Cost Australia $1 billion each year Free up nurses time for patient care
Save 2 million nursing hours 3 year study of 6,500 patients
Comparing 4 and 7 day tubing changes Largest National Health and Medical Research Council
funded nursing project and research grants awarded
Australian Nursing Journal, 2016
+Change Theory
Kurt Lewin’s Force-Field Model (Finkelman, 2016) Improves the Change Process Clarifies Balance of Power Identifies the Key Players Identifies Opponents and Allies Identifies How to Influence Each Other
+Recommendations
Reinforce 60 second assessment
Ensure adequate stock is ordered
Notify immediately if labels are not stocked
Prompt when scanning IV fluids
Care alert notification
Verbalize IV bag and label changes in bedside report (IHI, 2016)
Morning huddle discussion (IHI, 2016)
Nurse leaders audit unit (O’Grady, 2011)
Mandatory in-service on policy and procedure (O’Grady, 2011)
Additional research to support need to change tubing every 24-96 hours (O’ Grady, 2011)
Internal Evidence & Clinical Expertise Evidence Based
+Hypothesis
Using Lewin’s Change Theory and our recommendations, the unit will maintain their low CLABSI rate and ensure patient safety, as well as save their unit money by wasting less equipment through compliant labeling of solutions and tubing and keeping accurate records through charting.
