Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

The prospective before-after quality improvement study was to assess bundle effectiveness to reduce urinary catheter days and prevent associated complications. All patients with preexisting or new urinary catheters in a regional hospital in Switzerland were included. We showed a reduction of catheter days, incorrect urinary catheter indications, and most strikingly formally correct indications.
