Abstract
Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are more than a burden as they can result in subsequent complications, prolonged patient stays in the hospital, as well as additional antibiotic treatment. The evidence-based change project will focus on ensuring that patients with any form of a central line who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), receive a bath using chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) products once daily as well as the use of antimicrobial intravenous (IV) caps.
