About
Infection Control: Preventing Catheter - Associated Urinary Tract Infections
Course Introduction
About this course
The purpose of this course is to strengthen the ability of healthcare providers to prevent CAUTIs and improve patient safety. Through comprehensive education and practical guidance, the course aims to reduce unnecessary catheter use, lower CAUTI rates, and decrease associated complications, morbidity, and healthcare costs.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are among the most common — and most preventable — healthcare-associated infections, where structured catheter management and bundle compliance directly determine patient outcomes.
This course covers CAUTI prevention — covering bundle elements, daily review practices, catheter management, and the surveillance methods that anchor sustained prevention across acute and critical care.
🎯 Built for clinical readiness. Concise, structured, and skill-focused — designed to translate directly into safer, more confident clinical practice.
