As the holidays draw near and we embark on a new year, I ask you to join me this giving season by donating to Community Medical Centers to continue the great work that takes place each and every day. Let me tell you why I became a donor and what Community means to me and my family.

I was born in Burnett Sanitarium – the original site of Community Regional Medical Center and practiced there for nearly 60 years. I've watched Community become the region's top healthcare provider and been a part of many medical advancements – from antibiotics and polio vaccines, to house calls and open heart surgeries.

Community Regional has grown from the tiny Burnett Sanitarium in 1897, into the world-class trauma and critical care service provider we know today. From the expansion of Clovis Community Medical Center to the addition of Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital, Community has helped so many in our region thanks in part to generous donor-investors. But our success can’t stop here – the changing healthcare environment makes it more important than ever for me to invite you to continue your generous support. More than ever, our participation is vital to the advancements and expansion of leading-edge healthcare for our Valley. As we approach the giving season, I hope you will remember Community Medical Centers.

Best wishes for good health to you and your family during the holiday season and thank you so much for your generosity.

Respectfully,

ANNOUNCING IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS TO

SQ INSULIN ORDER SET #572 going live

– at crmc on January 4, 2016 -

Order Set Goals

Goal #1 Improve patient glycemic control by NOT using “sliding scale insulin” as the main therapy for diabetes

Goal #2 Decrease insulin events at CRMC

Avoid severe hyperglycemia events:

By building basal (long-acting) insulin prescribing into order set based on patient’s nutritional status. Basal insulin should NOT be held if the bedtime or pre-dose blood glucose level is within normal or desired range.

By building prandial/bolus (rapid-acting) insulin prescribing into order set around meal times

Avoid hypoglycemia events:

By building standardized hypoglycemia management into SQ Insulin OS #572

Goal #3 Assist physicians with ordering scheduled insulin REVISED ORDER SET IS BASED ON PATIENT’S NUTRITIONAL STATUS

(Patients who are: eating, NPO, peri-operative who are NPO, continuous tube feeding or TPN)

Choose type of diet Choose frequency of blood glucose testing Choose basal insulin

Choose prandial/meal insulin Choose correction insulin Remember to discontinue any other insulin orders

the patient may have

Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections: Prevention, Consequences, and Definitions

By Kristy Teixeira MSN PHN BS CIC, Infection Control Specialist and CAUTI Prevention Program Workgroup

PREVENTION FIRST

The risk of developing a catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) increases the longer an indwelling urinary catheter remains in place. For this reason, it is critical to avoid insertion when feasible and have ongoing assessment of the continued need for catheterization. To prevent infectious and non-‐infectious complications the following best practice is recommended:

1. Reduce the insertion of urinary catheters a. Use alternatives, such as condom catheters and intermittent catheterization when

possible. b. When inserted, utilize sterile technique.

2. Practice proper catheter maintenance techniques a. Follow the CAUTI Adult Prevention Program (CAPP) policy to include pericare,

maintaining the tamper evident seal, using a securement device, keeping the bag below the bladder and off of the floor. The CAPP policy is located on the CMC Form→Shortcuts & Tools→Policies & Procedures (Lucidoc) under Clinical Tools.

b. Assess and document the indication for the catheter on a DAILY basis. 3. Remove urinary catheters as quickly as possible

a. Early bladder training. b. In ambulatory patients use collection hats, bedpans, and bed side commodes to monitor

intake and output. Best practice alerts (BPA) have been implemented in Epic to help timely conversations between nurses and providers related to appropriate indications for urinary catheter placement and timely removal. The BPA will fire for two possible reasons:

• No physician order for a patient that has an indwelling urinary catheter documented. • If a patient has an indwelling urinary catheter for greater than 24 hours without a

“Remove” or a “Do Not Remove” order that includes a specific indication. As an additional best practice measure the indwelling urinary catheter orders within order sets have been modified to comply with the CAPP policy.

CONSEQUENCES OF CAUTI

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CAUTIs are the most common type of hospital acquired infections costing up to half a billion dollars in health care losses annually. CAUTIs can lead to an increase in morbidity, mortality, and unfunded hospital days and readmissions.

The reporting of hospital acquired CAUTI is required by all facilities receiving funds from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and is inclusive of critical care units and medical surgical units at this time. Hospitals that fail to meet benchmarks both for internal improvement goals and national standards are subject to a reduction in funds from the Annual Payment Update.

We hope readers are very aware of the importance of CAUTI-‐reduction to our patients and our hospitals.

THE DEFINITION OF CAUTI

The CDC has created a set of surveillance definitions that all acute care hospitals are held to for reporting purposes. The complete definitions can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/nhsn/acute-‐care-‐hospital/cauti/index.html under Protocols.

Per the CDC, a patient is defined as having a CAUTI when the following 3 criteria are met within a 7 day window:

1. Indwelling urinary catheter in for greater than 2 days [day of insertion is day one] 2. Fever > 38°C or costovertebral angle pain or suprapubic tenderness 3. Urine culture growing a bacteria in quantities of >100,000 CFU/ml

CAUTI has very few exclusions. The culture has to grow a bacteria of sufficient colony counts (yeasts and other fungi are excluded). A CAUTI cannot be deemed secondary to another site of infection nor can the fever be attributed to another cause. The white blood cell count is not part of the definition nor can urinalysis results be used to prove an infection was present on admission.

SURVEILLANCE DEFINITIONS VERSUS CLINICAL INFECTION

Surveillance definitions do not always directly correlate to the clinical state of the patient. The CDC CAUTI definitions are a case in point. Surveillance definitions developed by the CDC have been distilled into an algorithm that is very good at doing what it was designed to do -‐ identify infections using objective data. Clinical definitions of infection by contrast are designed with individual patient care in mind, require practitioner judgement, and consist of guidelines rather than fixed rules.

Unfortunately the lines between these two entities get cross linked when incorporated into Pay for Performance initiates and reimbursement. It is important to understand best practices for patients and how timeliness can play a part in prevention. Remember, place an indwelling urinary catheter only if no other alternative, maintain it carefully and assess its need daily, and remove it as soon as possible to prevent both surveillance and clinical CAUTIs.
