Proven technical approaches to prevent infection have often faltered because of the failure of hospital staff to adopt them. This book focuses on these adaptive problems, particularly as experienced during efforts to combat catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). It provides a step-by-step description of a model quality improvement intervention, explaining why clinicians neglect or actively oppose such initiatives and how to change their minds. The focus is on preventing CAUTI, which has proven far more resistant to quality improvement efforts than CLABSI. The CAUTI intervention framework is also broadly applicable to a variety of other hospital issues including preventing falls and Clostridioides difficile infection.
