The indwelling urinary catheter is a frequent procedure which has a significant nosocomial impact with a risk of infectious and non-infectious complications. Studies show a reduction in the risk of these complications thanks to better monitoring of recommendations as part of programs within healthcare establishments aimed at improving professional practices (indication, monitoring, etc.). A program of this type has been set up at the Trois Chêne geriatric hospital (Geneva University Hospitals). This is an interprofessional quality project developed along 4 axes: improving knowledge and use of equipment, developing an interprofessional training course to develop a common culture of good practices, improving clinical documentation and developing monitoring indicators quality.
