Article Synopsis
- Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for 40% of healthcare-acquired infections, prompting a study to integrate cloud-based software into an existing nursing quality improvement program aimed at reducing these infections.
- Although the new technology improved nurse champions' satisfaction and reduced the time needed to share data from several days to under an hour, the overall rates of CAUTIs did not significantly change after its implementation.
- The results indicate that while cloud-based software enhanced certain aspects of infection prevention and nurse engagement, further research is necessary to fully understand its impact on reducing CAUTI rates.
