by Margarita Silva, from the Community

Use this checklist to guide safe, aseptic care of hemodialysis catheter exit sites. It covers patient identification, PPE, hand hygiene, sterile field setup, CHG or povidone iodine skin prep, dressing application, and documentation. Step by step sections outline connection and disconnection procedures, flushing, patency checks, needleless connector changes, and waste disposal. Emphasis is placed on infection prevention, correct technique, and recording care delivered.

Device Audit - CAUTI Prevention
This device audit template helps healthcare teams prevent catheter associated urinary tract infection by standardizing checks across insertion, daily maintenance, and timely removal. Assess aseptic technique, securement, closed drainage integrity, unobstructed urine flow, bag positioning, and fullness limits. Verify documentation for orders, indications, daily justification, CHG bathing, peri catheter care, and patient education. Use it to monitor staff compliance, capture observations at the bedside, and support infection control programs in hospitals, clinics, and long term care settings.

Urinary Catheter Care Audit (NNI QT-IFC)
This hospital audit checklist supports urinary catheter care and CAUTI prevention. It captures patient MRN, admission date, catheter insertion date, culture date and results, and verifies bundle compliance per shift. Items include baseline culture completion, securement of catheter, unobstructed drainage, regular emptying into a clean container, keeping the collection bag below bladder level, and ensuring the bag is never on the floor. Designed for nurses and infection control teams to standardize monitoring across multiple patients and reduce catheter-associated infections.

Foley Catheter Maintenance Assessment
This Foley catheter maintenance assessment helps clinical teams verify daily catheter necessity and safe care practices. It covers reasons for catheterization, catheter type, securement, tubing positioning, drainage bag placement, labeling, and insertion details across units such as ED, OR, ICU, and medical surgical wards. Use it to standardize checks, document Foley days, and reduce catheter associated infection risk through consistent observation and documentation.

UM WalkRound Cross Audit - Hemodialysis
This hemodialysis cross audit checklist supports unit leaders in assessing compliance with infection control standards. Review patient spacing, separation of clean and contaminated areas, hand hygiene, PPE availability, sharps disposal, waste management, surface disinfection, spill response, dedicated patient equipment, and dialysis machine and water system cleaning. Use it to document observations, interviews, and comments during routine walkrounds and guide corrective actions.
