Naylor, MD, MPH, Moises Auron, MD, Jean Beresian, MD, Alexandra Tallman, BSN, RN, SANE-A, Allison Griffith, MSN, RN, CCRN, CPHQ, Kathleen Seasholtz, BSN, RN, HACP, Mariel Manlapaz, MD, Katherine Zacharyasz, MSN, RN, CPHQ, Reem Khatib, MD, MBA, FASA, Shreya Mishra, PhD, Kathryn Haller, PA, Thomas Fraser, MD, Katherine Holman, MD

“…The current definition of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) may overestimate the true incidence of CLABSI as it is often unclear whether the bloodstream infection (BSI) is secondary to the central line or due to another infectious source. OBJECTIVES:. We aimed to assess the prevalence and outcomes of central CLABSI at our institution, to identify opportunities for improvement, appropriately direct efforts for infection reduction, and identify gaps in the CLABSI definition and its application as a quality measure. …”
