Study summary

This is a feasibility pilot study to introduce and evaluate an intervention designed to increase clinician awareness of their patients' urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and pressure injuries. This intervention, the "Patient Safety Display" will be evaluated in one hospital unit.

Read the detailed description

This project will introduce and evaluate an intervention designed to increase clinician awareness of their patients' urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and pressure injuries. A "Patient Safety Display" will be implemented in half of the patient rooms in one hospital unit. The Patient Safety Display will display catheter and pressure injury data pulled real-time from the electronic medical record onto a tablet mounted at the patient bedside.

This is an intervention-control design study that will be conducted with patients and clinicians at Michigan Medicine. The proposed intervention, the Patient Safety Display, will provide clinicians with key catheter and skin information at the bedside when pertinent clinical decisions are being made.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Urinary catheter awareness

    Proportion of physicians and advanced practice providers aware of their patients' indwelling urinary catheters; measured via survey

    Time frame: 4 months

  2. Central venous catheter awareness

    Proportion of physicians and advanced practice providers aware of their patients' central venous catheters; measured via survey

    Time frame: 4 months

  3. Pressure injury awareness

    Proportion of physicians and advanced practice providers aware of their patients' pressure injuries; measured via survey

    Time frame: 4 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Urinary catheter usage

    Urinary catheter usage rates, as documented in the electronic medical record

    Time frame: 4 months

  2. CAUTI

    Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) rates, as collected for routine National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) reporting

    Time frame: 4 months

  3. Central venous catheter usage

    Central venous catheter usage rates, as documented in the electronic medical record

    Time frame: 4 months

  4. CLABSI

    Central-line associated urinary tract infections (CLABSI) rates, as collected for routine NHSN reporting

    Time frame: 4 months

  5. Pressure injuries

    Pressure injury incidence, as documented in the electronic medical record

    Time frame: 4 months

  6. Pressure injury care

    Rates of pressure injury care practices (i.e., wound team consults, specialty bed orders, use of repositioning devices) as reported in the electronic medical record

    Time frame: 4 months
