August 2010 - CABSI Learning Session 3 planned

The teams continue to share strategies and there is general agreement that a multi-disciplinary approach which includes family members, physician, nurse and senior sponsor champions has been critical to the successes realized so far. Teams will be challenged to design reliability into the processes they have tested and found to be useful at CABSI Learning Session 3 to be held on Thursday, September 2, 2010 in Chapel Hill. 2-4 members of each CABSI Project team, including the nurse champion, physician champion and hospital administration representative will gather to discuss holding the gains. Without attention to holding the gains made, each unit is vulnerable to rising infection rates.
