CNS Improving Outcomes

Reducing Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) is a goal in every organization. Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet! Collaboration within and across disciplines, especially between nursing and physicians, is a key strategy to communicate the value, goal, and specific initiatives that ultimately affect the outcome to reduce CAUTIs. A clinical nurse specialist (CNS) is pivotal in this work. This presentation highlights how the involvement of a CNS can influence outcomes in an organization that has had its own resurgence of the CNS role within the last two years!
