Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is the most common cause of healthcare-associated infection. The consequences of CLABSI can be serious and result in sepsis, a life-threatening condition. CLABSI can also prolong hospital stays, increase mortality risk, and increase healthcare costs. It has been identified as one of the annual patient safety goals over the past several years. In 2021, according to the results of the annual risk assessment at our hospital, CLABSI was one of the three most important projects that should be prioritized for management. Power BI is a powerful business intelligence tool that allows users to connect to a variety of data sources, perform data analysis, and create visually appealing and interactive reports and dashboards. By introducing Power BI to monitor CLABSI, healthcare facilities can gain valuable insights into the CLABSI rates and other relevant metrics, which can help healthcare providers identify problem areas and take action. It can easily share data and results with others within the facility and improve transparency and engagement. After introducing Power BI, the average infection density of CLABSI in intensive care units decreased from (5.10 per mille) in the first quarter of 2021 to (4.38 per mille) in the fourth quarter, and in respiratory care centers decreased from (4.28 per mille) in the first quarter of 2021 to (2.44 per mille) in the fourth quarter. Based on these preliminary findings, the introduction of Power BI to monitor CLABSI to remind healthcare providers could affect the impact of CLABSI. Further large-scale studies are required to assess the long-term effect of Power BI on the control of healthcare-related infections. |
