Focusing on ways to improve patient outcomes, the American Hospital Association has launched Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence. This effort to transform patient care through shared innovations highlights achievements at various hospitals around the country in areas including patient safety, reducing health care-acquired infections, medication management and patient throughput. As this report illustrates, the roles of materials management, nursing, infection control specialists and others are critically important to this effort.

From randomized controlled studies to meta-analysis research covering data from a wide range of sources, there is a vast amount of information on anti-infective central venous catheters (AICVC). These studies have examined everything from when these devices should be used to the various types of coatings used in AICVCs. So how can value analysis coordinators, infection control professionals and nurses best make sense of all the research when making purchasing decisions? Here's a no-nonsense approach to understanding the evidence.

The theory of positive deviance holds that in any group, some people are more effective than others even when they have the same resources at hand. The object is to identify those people, see what they're doing differently and share it with the larger group. The Plexus Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently collaborated on a six-hospital positive-deviance study that reduced methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection rates by 70 percent. What these hospitals learned may help others cut their MRSA rates.
