Quality improvement projects play an important role in healthcare by improving the quality and safety of care that patients receive. A specific quality improvement project about catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) was evaluated to determine if the quality of care improved after a multi-faceted CAUTI prevention educational program was offered to nurses on hospital units with high rates of CAUTI. The results showed that this quality improvement project did improve health outcomes by resulting in decreased rates of CAUTI. This is a key finding because nurses play a major role in preventing CAUTI among hospitalized patients.

Quality Improvement (QI) projects are interprofessional team efforts, developed to improve health-care quality. Pressure injury prevention has been identified by the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) as a key nursing sensitive outcome. QI projects such as the Deal with Heels project, the Save Our Skin program, and the implementation of designated turn teams have significantly reduced the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). This has reduced the risk of patients developing severe complications, which significantly improves health outcomes.
