If you are a hospital interested in joining this project contact Chris Goeschel at cgoesch1@jhmi.edu.
She will connect you with the lead agency in your state and make certain you get all the information you need to get started.
30,000 to 62,000 people die due to catheter-related blood stream infections every year in the United States and nearly 3 billion dollars are spent on these infections world-wide. Stop BSI aims to eliminate catheter-related blood stream infections and their associated costs. Similar efforts in Michigan were successful in nearly eliminating these infections by reducing the median rate of catheter-related bloodstream infections to zero. Stop BSI will expand these efforts nation-wide. We invite consumers, insurers, employers, clinicians, and administrators to join this effort. Together we will save countless lives, prevent suffering, and reduce healthcare costs.
Welcome

This week is national patient safety awareness week, a great time for you to rekindle your effort to reduce CLABSI and improve culture. To help with that, we have created a checklist of potential things you can do in your hospital. Click here to see it on our blog.
