Eliminating central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) remains a patient safety priority. This quality improvement project sought to reduce ambulatory CLABSI rates by improving caregiver management of central lines at home. The intervention included caregiver education, standardized ambulatory nurse CL care practice, and cleaning supplies. The evaluation identified a 52% decrease in ambulatory CLABSI rates, or 117 prevented infections.
