Abstract
The risk of infection increases with extended urinary catheter use. The United States spends about $350 million annually related to catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). This project describes the implementation of evidence-based practice strategies that would increase nurses' knowledge about CAUTI prevention and documentation compliance in the electronic medical record.
