About this study

Official title: Improving Risk Detection and Communication to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Conditions

This is a feasibility pilot study to introduce and evaluate an intervention designed to increase clinician awareness of their patients' urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and pressure injuries. This intervention, the "Patient Safety Display" will be evaluated in one hospital unit.

Read the detailed description

This project will introduce and evaluate an intervention designed to increase clinician awareness of their patients' urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and pressure injuries. A "Patient Safety Display" will be implemented in half of the patient rooms in one hospital unit. The Patient Safety Display will display catheter and pressure injury data pulled real-time from the electronic medical record onto a tablet mounted at the patient bedside.

This is an intervention-control design study that will be conducted with patients and clinicians at Michigan Medicine. The proposed intervention, the Patient Safety Display, will provide clinicians with key catheter and skin information at the bedside when pertinent clinical decisions are being made.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urinary catheter awareness

    Proportion of physicians and advanced practice providers aware of their patients' indwelling urinary catheters; measured via survey

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Central venous catheter awareness

    Proportion of physicians and advanced practice providers aware of their patients' central venous catheters; measured via survey

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Pressure injury awareness

    Proportion of physicians and advanced practice providers aware of their patients' pressure injuries; measured via survey

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Urinary catheter usage

    Urinary catheter usage rates, as documented in the electronic medical record

    Measured: 4 months

  2. CAUTI

    Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) rates, as collected for routine National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) reporting

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Central venous catheter usage

    Central venous catheter usage rates, as documented in the electronic medical record

    Measured: 4 months

  4. CLABSI

    Central-line associated urinary tract infections (CLABSI) rates, as collected for routine NHSN reporting

    Measured: 4 months

  5. Pressure injuries

    Pressure injury incidence, as documented in the electronic medical record

    Measured: 4 months

  6. Pressure injury care

    Rates of pressure injury care practices (i.e., wound team consults, specialty bed orders, use of repositioning devices) as reported in the electronic medical record

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patient Safety Display in people with Catheter-Related Infections and Pressure Injury, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Urinary catheter awareness (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Nov 2019.
