Join AHRQ’s Safety Program To Help Hospitals Improve CAUTI Rates

AHRQ is recruiting adult intensive care units (ICUs) and non-ICUs to participate in a free 9-month program to reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates in acute care hospitals. Program participants will learn how to enhance teamwork and communication, gain access to regular benchmarking reports, and receive expert consultation and tools to promote infection prevention procedures and patient safety culture. Participants will also receive free continuing education (CEU/CME) credits. Register for the first informational recruitment webinars scheduled for August 13 and 28. Space in the program is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The program will begin in February 2026.
