House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Goal
Our goal is to develop evidence-based guidelines that:
- streamline the order/timing of interventions in patients who develop PUR after spine surgery
- identify those at high-risk of long-term urinary retention that require further workup
- minimize the rate of PUR –goal is to reduce to 3.5% in FY 2019
- and determine the cost savings from our intervention when applied to all surgeries
