7 Acute Celebrates 365 Days CLABSI Free!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the team members on 7 Acute for an amazing job. On February 13th<\/sup>, 7 Acute celebrated an entire year without a central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI). That amounts to 365 days, 8760 hours, or 525,600 minutes. As the days pass without another infection, it continues to increase the Children\u2019s Hospital record of CLABSI free days. This would not have been possible without excellent teamwork across the entire Children\u2019s Hospital, from the care given to our chronic patients while outpatient to the staff of environmental services who clean and disinfect the rooms after every discharge. Additionally, kudos should be given to the CLABSI Working Group who meet monthly to discuss infections, problem solve and work on improving the care we provide our sickest patients. This group meets on a monthly basis on Tuesdays at 4:30 pm in the 7 Central Dayroom. The next meeting is March 10th<\/sup>. Email Laura Lee, MD (ll7ba@virginia.edu<\/a>) if you would like more information.<\/p>\n
