ABSTRACT
A compliance coach who audits central line maintenance and provides feedback and education to bedside nurses through timely, nonpunitive conversation is an effective addition to busy infection prevention departments. Staff nurses and nurse managers reported receiving clearly communicated and actionable information from the coach and compliance improved over time in multiple areas of central line maintenance.
