Upon completion of this module, participants will be able to: 

• Describe the goals and benefits of the national long‐term care (LTC) collaborative to reduce HAIs/CAUTI and improve safety culture;

• Review the evidence‐based practices in HAI/CAUTI prevention; and 

• Highlight the role of the prescriber in promoting evidence‐based practices in HAI/CAUTI prevention.

LTC Project Goals

Primary Goals—reduce HAIs/CAUTI and improve safety culture• Develop/adapt evidence‐based CAUTI elimination and safety 

practices and resources for LTCFs

• Reduce CAUTIs and HAIs 

• Improve safety culture

Secondary Goals—support expanded infection prevention efforts for C. diff, UTI, MDROs, etc. by providing education to:

• Improve hygiene practices (hand, environmental)

• Promote antibiotic stewardship 

• Promote catheter stewardship

• Reduce re‐hospitalizations

Benefits of the LTC Program

• Improve the Nursing Home Compare Quality Measures

• Enhance data collection skills and prepare for mandatory reporting of infection data (NHSN)

• Benchmark against other LTC facilities (project‐level and nationally)

• Improve communication and relationships with referring hospitals that may results in reduced readmissions

• Improve compliance with survey requirements related to quality of care, infection control, etc.

Assessing Catheter Necessity

Catheters in newly admitted and re‐admitted residents should be assessed for necessity

• Every resident, when clinically possible, deserves a chance to be “catheter‐free”

• Remember, a resident cannot develop a CAUTI if they do not have a catheter

• NHSN CAUTI definition does NOT include suprapubic, straight nor condom catheters

Chronically‐catheterized patients have bacteriuria 99% of the time

• Bacteriuria can be symptomatic or asymptomatic

• Urine cultures, dip sticks and the presence of pyuria cannot be used to distinguish between CAUTI and asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB)

•Non‐Specific Bacteriuria Signs• Urine color• Urine smell• Urine sediment• Cloudy urine

Avoid Unnecessary Urine Cultures

Ordering Unnecessary Urine Cultures Can Lead to Resident Harms

Urinary catheter present

Cloudy, odorous urine, sediments

Inappropriate use of urine culture

Over‐inflated CAUTI rates Inappropriate Treatment  and Antibiotic Overuse Miss the correct diagnosis

More resistant organisms, Clostridium difficile, increased cost, further health complications

Resident Harms

Reduce unnecessary urine cultures

• Review urine culture data

• Assess whether s/s present to collect urine cultures

Reduce the overuse of antibiotics

• Review antibiotic use data1

• Confirm s/s and positive urine culture

• Determine if appropriate antibiotic prescription was given

• Identify clinical situations driving antibiotic use (e.g., asymptomatic bacteriuria, UTI prophylaxis)

12

Strategies to Reduce UnnecessaryUrine Cultures and Overuse of Antibiotics

Communicate with nurse, staff, residents and families the harms of starting antibiotics not clinically indicated

Effective and clear communication between multidisciplinary teams and nurses and providers leads to better: 

– Recognition of acute change of condition (ACOC)

– Timely intervention

– Improve treatment decision‐making

– Overarching ACOC management13

Communication is Critical and TeamSTEPPS Can Help!

• Be familiar with the NHSN CAUTI Surveillance definition

• Avoid obtaining unnecessary urine cultures 

• Initiate care plan discussions with staff, residents and families to review ways to prevent CAUTI and harms together 

Document clinical indications for the catheter 

Document signs and symptoms of CAUTI

Prescribe antibiotics only when appropriate
