The purpose of this project, completed as part of the EBP Change Champion program, was to expand the nursing assistant (NA) role in implementing evidenced-based interventions to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) risk. NA knowledge increased and the unit CAUTI rate six months post-program fell to 0/1000 patient days.
