The members of the collaborative continue to benefit from PQCNC philosophy “All teach-all learn.” This month members of the Intensive Care Nursery (ICN) at Duke University Medical Center presented Rally Against Infection (RAIN) initiative, their multi-media, multi-faceted campaign to eliminate blood stream infections. The campaign was initiated prior to the PQCNC CABSI initiative and includes but is not limited to computer screen savers, regular education, celebrations of days since last infection and weekly contests between and among the staff. One of the hallmarks of the campaign is the involvement of every parent with an infant in the ICN. The slide presentation can be found here and the team welcomed questions and calls from others working on eliminating these infections.
