NEBH employs a number of best practice protocols to ensure preventable catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are avoided. The first step in the CAUTI protocol is for our care team to evaluate each patient and make an informed decision on whether or not a catheter is appropriate. New supplies are always evaluated to ensure our patient’s needs are met. With these protocols in place, utilization rates of catheters have decreased.
