Huddles, Habits, and Hygiene: A Workflow-Driven Model Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) Reduction

Adventist Healthcare Rehabilitation

Preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections requires reliable systems, not just individual vigilance. This session will highlight how the Adventist Healthcare Rehabilitation team dramatically reduced CAUTIs by embedding catheter necessity reviews, evidence-based hygiene practices, and interdisciplinary accountability into everyday workflows. Attendees will learn how simple, sustainable process changes transformed safety culture, reduced device utilization, and created a replicable model for achieving zero harm in the post-acute care setting.
