NQF CLABSI Prevention Safe Practice
Specifications: 2010 Update
Before insertion:
• Educate healthcare personnel involved in the insertion, care, and
maintenance of central venous catheters (CVCs).
At insertion:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Use a catheter checklist at the time of CVC insertion.
Perform hand hygiene prior to catheter insertion or manipulation.
Avoid using the femoral vein for central venous access in adult patients.
Use a catheter cart or kit with components for aseptic catheter insertion.
Use maximal sterile barrier precautions.
Use chlorhexidine gluconate 2% and isopropyl alcohol solution as skin
antiseptic preparation in patients over two months of age and allow
appropriate drying time per product guidelines.
After insertion:
• Use a standardized protocol to disinfect catheter hubs, needleless
connectors, and injection ports before accessing the ports.
• Remove nonessential catheters.
• Use a standardized protocol for non-tunneled CVCs in adults and
adolescents for dressing care.
• Perform surveillance for CLABSI and report the data on a regular basis.
13
NQF SSI Prevention Safe Practice
Specifications: 2010 Update
• Educate of healthcare professionals involved in surgical procedures.
• Educate the patient and his or her family as appropriate about SSI

prevention.
Conduct periodic risk assessments for SSI.
Ensure that measurement strategies follow evidence-based guidelines.
Provide SSI rate data and prevention outcome measures to key stakeholders.
Administer antimicrobial agents for prophylaxis.
When hair removal is necessary, use clippers or depilatories.
Maintain normothermia immediately following colorectal surgery.
Control blood glucose during the immediate postoperative period for cardiac
surgery patients.
Preoperatively, use chlorhexidine gluconate 2% and isopropyl alcohol
solution as skin antiseptic preparation, and allow appropriate drying time
per product guidelines.

The Association for Professionals in
Infection Control & Epidemiology
• Mission
To improve health and patient safety by reducing the risks of
infection and related adverse outcomes.
• The preeminent voice in infection prevention
Over 13,000 members worldwide with responsibility for
infection prevention, control and hospital epidemiology in a
variety of healthcare settings.
APIC Targeting Zero Initiative
• Elimination Guides
Evidence-based strategies to implement CDC guidelines, NQF Safe Practices
and recommendations from the SHEA-APIC-IDSA Compendium
– Guides to the elimination of SSIs, CR-BSIs, Mediastinitis, C. difficile, VAP
and MRSA (hospital and long term care versions) help you bring science
to the bedside
– New guides in 2010 on A. baumannii, Hemodialysis and SSIs in
orthopedics and oncology
• Research
2006 MRSA & 2007 C. difficile Prevalence Studies, 2010 MRSA II Study
• Education
The most comprehensive program of live and online education to reduce
infection, meet new and emerging regulatory requirements and understand
the changing legal standard in acute, ambulatory and long term care settings
