Objective: To report our quality improvement efforts to reduce total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-associated bloodstream infections, and the results of those efforts, during the period including the first quarter of 2004 through the third quarter of 2010.
Methods: A variant on failure modes and effect analysis and existing guidelines were used to develop and modify interventions. Effectiveness of the interventions was assessed by using a graphical depiction of interrupted time-series data on TPN-associated infections per 1000 TPN-days, aggregated across quarters within intervention periods.
