This project design is decrease urinary tract infections due to catheters placed by health care providers. Kelly Aube, Emily Gebow and I choose this education point because being on dialysis and urinary floor we see many catheters to help with urination. By collecting evidence from other resources we plan to inform nursing on our floor on the proper use of the sterile and ways to reduce the occurrence. Before researching this topic I knew that we use the sterile technique to deduce the exposure to bacteria and other microorganisms, but I did not realize the magnitude of the problem. 40% of all hospital-acquired infections are due to urinary tract infection, while 80% of these urinary tract infections are due to indwelling catheters. The three of us have worked well together designing and planing this dissemination project. We all gathered at least one source that would be useful for the discussion and the project we choose to focus on. In addition, we used google docs to allow all of us to edit and add different aspects of the outline. We all divided the work up evenly and we all read each others parts to ensure it was an explain of our hard work. I cannot wait to work with these people moving forward on this project.
