RESUMEN
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are a frequent hospital-acquired infection and public health concern. In an attempt to reduce the number of CAUTIs, an intervention that emphasized the appropriate laboratory evaluation by ordering providers was implemented. This intervention supplemented ongoing standard bundle protocols. Compared to the 16 months before the intervention, there was a significant decrease in the number of CAUTIs during the 12-month intervention period.
