About
CAUTI Prevention Program
Programme Introduction
About this programme
Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections and are largely preventable with appropriate clinical practices. Indwelling urinary catheters, when used without clear indication or maintained improperly, significantly increase the risk of infection, patient discomfort, prolonged hospitalization, and antimicrobial overuse. The CAUTI Prevention Program is designed to strengthen healthcare professionals’ competence in evidence-based urinary catheter insertion, maintenance, and timely removal, fostering a culture of patient safety and accountability. The program translates national and international prevention principles into practical, bedside-applicable workflows suitable for diverse healthcare settings.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are among the most common healthcare-associated infections — and among the most amenable to prevention through structured catheter management.
This programme covers the bundle elements, daily review practices, and surveillance methods that anchor effective CAUTI prevention across acute, critical, and long-term care settings.
🛡 Built for safer care. Structured, evidence-based, and mapped to global IPC standards — designed to translate directly into stronger patient and staff safety.
