Hospitalization can be a stressful and emotionally taxing event for patients. Support provided to patients by visitors is recognized as an integral component in addressing the complex needs of hospitalized patients. Patient and family centered care has been associated with improved outcomes and satisfaction for both patients and their families1. Liberal visitation policies have resulted in decreases in rates of delirium and even shorter intensive care unit (ICU) stays in critically ill patients2-4.

The initial phases of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was a time of clinical uncertainty and shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) which required a shift away from the evidence-based practices foundational to the work of infection prevention professionals (IPP). IPPs were challenged to deliver rapidly changing guidance across their institutions about PPE use that contradicted best practice. IPPs were overwhelmed by the content, frequency and volume of their communication needed to ensure the safety of frontline staff.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are among the most common healthcare-associated infections and represent a significant burden on the healthcare system. Known complications of CAUTI include gram-negative bacteremia, meningitis, endophthalmitis, endocarditis, and septic arthritis.1 According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a CAUTI event costs between $4,000-$29,000, on average $13,793 per event.2 CAUTI risk factors can be both modifiable and non-modifiable.
