We conducted a quality improvement project at our large, public, tertiary-care, academic hospital to reduce the standardized infection ratio (SIR) of hospital-acquired catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Our diagnostic stewardship program, based on education and audit and feedback, significantly reduced inpatient urine culture orders and CAUTI SIR.
