Running head: ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Root-Cause Analysis and Safety Improvement Plan Joshua Watts NURS-FPX4020 Capella University January 2020 1 ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2 Root-Cause Analysis Catheter- associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) is one of many healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) that is a serious issue in medical facilities. They compromise the safety of patients, increase the costs of care, and increase the length of hospital stay. A rootcause analysis (RCA) will be conducted to determine the exact causes of this crisis. Knowing exactly how to prevent CAUTIs will prevent further complications for both the patient and the medical facility. This will be accomplished through analysis of the root cause with evidencebased practices. Analysis of the Root Cause The RCA is being conducted for the increased numbers of CAUTIs in hospitals and other medical facilities. Urinary catheters are placed when urinary retention is present, during a surgical procedure, or when there is an obstruction within the bladder. Although catheters are very useful and helpful for the patients and staff, but they come with a high risk for infection if not cared for properly or not taken out when no longer needed. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most frequent healthcare acquired infection. According to an article titled “A Case Study of Organizational Risk on Hospital- Acquired Infections” states that, “Forty percent of all HAIs are attracted to UTIs, while 80% of those are associated with an indwelling urinary catheter” (Johnson, S., p. 1, 2018). NURS FPX4020 Capella University Root Cause Analysis & Safety Improvement PPT Root Cause Analysis & Safety Improvement PPT. This is a growing situation that must be identified and find solutions to prevent this infection. Hospitals around the world have noted increased complications such as CAUTIs when patients have a urinary catheter placed. The CDC reports that 1 in 25 patients hospitalized in the United States will have a HAI that is a patient safety risk and adds to the cost of healthcare (Johnson, S., 2018). This problem affects the patient in both morbidity and mortality. The ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 3 government has implemented more efforts to reduce CAUTIs through the help of the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare quality star ratings to include financial penalties through the Hospital Acquired Condition Reduction Penalty Program (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., 2019). This way, if a patient develops a HAI/ CAUTI, the hospital will have to cover the costs and not the patient’s medical insurance. An RCA for CAUTI events was conducted in an article titled “Identifying the Risk Factors for Catheter- Associated Urinary Tract Infections: A Large Cross-Sectional Study of Six Hospitals”. The findings identified that the most common indications for catheterization were recording inputs and outputs, critical illness, peri-operative status and diuresis (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., 2019). The article further stated that, “The most common contributing factors for CAUTI that were identified by the clinical teams and infection preventionists were comorbidities, lapses in catheter care protocols, active infection, fecal incontinence and duration of IUC” (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., p. 3, 2019). Removing catheters early would have reduced percentages and decrease the chance of a CAUTI developing in a patient. Medical staff not properly adhering to the protocols associated with catheters, improper hygiene and hand washing, and not removing catheters at appropriate times have all attributed to CAUTIs in acute hospital settings. New risk factors have been identified such as female sex, pediatric age and neurological issues can attribute to CAUTIs (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., 2019). Another RCA was conducted in an article titled “Lessons Learned In Establishing A Quality Improvement Project To Reduce Hospital Acquired Infections In the Neonatology Ward at A Referral Hospital In Rwanda” that noted root causes included poor hand hygiene compliance, poor aseptic technique during ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 4 injection, shortage of disinfecting materials and healthcare works not being knowledgeable HAIs (Gafirimbi, N., Wong, R., Adomako, E., & Kagwiza, J., 2016). Correcting these simple risk factors can cut down on CAUTI rates throughout medical facilities around the world. Improvement Plan with Evidence-Based and Best-Practice Strategies A safety improvement plan can be implemented within acute hospital settings to lower and prevent CAUTIs. Establishing infection control programs to reduce HAIs is the first step. This can be achieved by implementing simple infection control measures such as antibiotic prescription and hand hygiene usage. Hand hygiene is the inexpensive way to prevent infection. Washing hands before entering a patient’s room and afterwards decreases the chances of CAUTIs in patients by 63% … Root Cause Analysis & Safety Improvement PPT Get a 10 % discount on an order above $ 100 Use the following coupon code : NURSING10

The findings identified that the most common indications for catheterization were recording inputs and outputs, critical illness, peri-operative status and diuresis (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., 2019). The article further stated that, “The most common contributing factors for CAUTI that were identified by the clinical teams and infection preventionists were comorbidities, lapses in catheter care protocols, active infection, fecal incontinence and duration of IUC” (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., p. 3, 2019). Removing catheters early would have reduced percentages and decrease the chance of a CAUTI developing in a patient. Medical staff not properly adhering to the protocols associated with catheters, improper hygiene and hand washing, and not removing catheters at appropriate times have all attributed to CAUTIs in acute hospital settings. New risk factors have been identified such as female sex, pediatric age and neurological issues can attribute to CAUTIs (Letica-Kriegel, A., Salmasian, H., Vawdrey, D. K., Youngerman, B. E., Perotte, R., 2019). Another RCA was conducted in an article titled “Lessons Learned In Establishing A Quality Improvement Project To Reduce Hospital Acquired Infections In the Neonatology Ward at A Referral Hospital In Rwanda” that noted root causes included poor hand hygiene compliance, poor aseptic technique during ROOT-CAUSE ANALYSIS AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PLAN 4 injection, shortage of disinfecting materials and healthcare works not being knowledgeable HAIs (Gafirimbi, N., Wong, R., Adomako, E., & Kagwiza, J., 2016). Correcting these simple risk factors can cut down on CAUTI rates throughout medical facilities around the world. Improvement Plan with Evidence-Based and Best-Practice Strategies A safety improvement plan can be implemented within acute hospital settings to lower and prevent CAUTIs. Establishing infection control programs to reduce HAIs is the first step. This can be achieved by implementing simple infection control measures such as antibiotic prescription and hand hygiene usage. Hand hygiene is the inexpensive way to prevent infection. Washing hands before entering a patient’s room and afterwards decreases the chances of CAUTIs in patients by 63% … Root Cause Analysis & Safety Improvement PPT Get a 10 % discount on an order above $ 100 Use the following coupon code : NURSING10
