Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) Prevention Advanced Application

Infectious complications on the center line called CLABSI (centerline-related bloodstream infection) occur frequently, and more than 30,000 cases are reported in emergency hospitals. The case of CLABSI can be almost prevented by best practice of correctly applying centerline insertion package and maintenance package.

Based on the CLABSI rate, the CAUTI rate and the PSI score reported to the NHAN (National Health Safety Network) in FY 2015, a hospital acquisition (HAC) reduction program under CMS management will reduce 1% to the poorest performing hospital, You will be penalized. . This makes the identification and reporting of CLABSI cases more important for medical systems. However, doing so usually requires extensive manual chart review based on complicated NHSN rules. This inefficient monitoring process leads to 'waste of measurement'. One of the consequences is the lack of infection control resources that can be used to actually reduce the risk and incidence of reported CLABSI cases supporting upstream clinical process improvement.

An executive understands the hospital's CLABSI rate and is interested in understanding the extent to which doctors and nurses follow best practice in hand hygiene. CLABSI's advanced application allows users to find indicators of these results and interventions.

Infection Preventers (IP) want to easily identify and examine all positive blood cultures and decide whether additional CLABSI cases need to be reported to CDC via NHSN. With CLABSI Advanced Application, IP can exclude recently collected blood culture positive list and mark it as "pending review". IP can then quickly evaluate and validate or exclude potential CLABSI incidents

Improved compliance with reduced CLABSI practices: bulk use of best practice device utilization, centerline insertion practice, and maintenance

System-wide change in CLABSI rate and impact on changes in internal processes related to CLABSI (eg along the best practice centerline insertion and maintenance package)

Reduce the ability to infect prevention resources Analysis, feedback, redirect to feedback, intervention to improve CLABSI prevention process and results

Improve insight on trends, demographics, customs, and performance - improve the ability to discover "causes" behind CLABSI and "improve work priorities"

Measure and broadly share the CLABSI rate across the enterprise and CLABSI will prevent bundle compliance measures to help provide opportunities for improvement

Centerline related bloodstream infections or CLABSI are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and medical expenses. It is now recognized that CLABSI is largely preventable when inserting and maintaining a central venous catheter (CVC) according to evidence-based guidelines. The purpose of this document is to emphasize practical recommendations in a concise form designed to help medical institutions in the Asia-Pacific region implement CLABSI preventive efforts. This document is a summary of the CLABSI prevention guide developed by the Asia-Pacific Infection Control Association (APSIC).
