Back to course
Asset Caption
Speaker: Danielle Ondayko Lewis, BSN, RN, CPHQ
This session will describe how a 2-hospital system reduced CAUTI to ZERO through forming an interdisciplinary committee. I will take the audience through DMAIC methodology and show them how to achieve something similar for themselves. The focus will be: ‘WHO’ was on the team, ‘WHAT’ specific goals we were trying to achieve (DEFINE leading and lagging metric goals and MEASUREMENTS), ‘ANALYZING’ of our gaps, needs and plans, ‘IMPROVEMENT PHASE’ of showing what actions we implemented, our RESULTS, and how we MONITOR our outcomes (‘CONTROL’).
