Abstract
Central venous catheters (CVCs) that are a result of central line blood stream infections (CLABSI) many times increase healthcare cost in regards to hospital hospital length of stay but most times result in poor patient outcomes. While CLABSI is one hundred percent preventable, it has been estimated that 250,000 cases of CLABSI are reported annually (Kusek 2012). The extended length of stay increases cost for each infection upwards of $36,000, totaling at least $9,000 annually (Clancy 2009). The key to CLABSI reduction does not involve a state of the art monitoring device, it is a very cost effective intervention/care process that is supported by evidence based practice (EBP). Prevention of CLABSI directly aligns with Patricia Brennar’s Novice to Expert Theory when implementing the use of central line bundle practices. The theory acknowledges that learning is based on the instructor’s awareness and planning of knowledge deficits and needs. The research
