Fifteen years after to Err is Human: a success story to learn from.
This paper provides a historical profile of the central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) success story, comparing infection rates before and 15 years after the IOM report. It discusses the five elements essential to the national success in reducing CLABSI rates: a reliable and valid measurement system, evidence-based care practices, investment in implementation sciences, local ownership and peer learning communities, and coordination and alignment of CLABSI reduction efforts.
