The next grantee project in our series comes from Johns Hopkins University. Led by David Thompson and Jill Marsteller, the team's goal was to implement a comprehensive safety program
including an evidence based intervention to reduce central
line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) while examining the
context of nursing care delivery on patient outcomes. This
interdisciplinary research team used the expertise of nurses to develop
and deliver a quality improvement initiative that reflects the positive
clinical contributions of nurses in the critical care setting. This
study is likely to inform other nurse-led medical error reduction
interventions, contribute to the quality improvement literature and to
the science of rigorously evaluated evidence based interdisciplinary
nursing practice.

Access a chart on the quarterly number of perceived CLABSI prevention practices during the implementation period.
This post is part of a series to provide the public with research briefs on INQRI-funded projects across a range of interests.
