Abstract

We performed a quality improvement project to decrease utilization of multilumen peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in favor of single-lumen PICCs and midline catheters. Through optimization of electronic orders, education and decision support, we decreased utilization of multilumen PICCs, changed provider ordering patterns, and showed a downward trend in CLABSIs.

PREVIOUS PRESENTATION. Portions of this quality improvement work were presented at a poster session at the annual meeting of the Society of Hospital Medicine on March 25, 2019, in National Harbor, Maryland, and at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement National Forum on December 11, 2018, in Orlando, Florida. The abstract was accepted for poster presentation at the SHEA/CDC Decennial Meeting, ultimately, however, it was not presented due to the cancellation of the meeting.
