RESUMO
As part of a central line-associated bloodstream infections prevention initiative, our academic medical center formed a dedicated nursing team to assist with central line insertions and provide support with caring for difficult lines and dressings. During the program's first 3 years, the proportion of insertion-related central line-associated bloodstream infections occurring in areas within the team's scope declined overall by 47%.

RESUMO
We instituted Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Monitors as part of our care of COVID-19 patients in high-risk zones. PPE Monitors aided health care personnel (HCP) in donning and doffing, which contributed to nearly zero transmission of COVID-19 to HCP, despite their care of over 1400 COVID-19 patients.
