This study proposes to expand upon previous research by studying the effects of a
urinary-catheter removal alert on duration of urinary catheter use and frequency of CAUTIs
with a large, randomized controlled trial within a three-hospital academic medical center.
Hypothesis The proposed urinary-catheter removal alerts will decrease the number of catheter
days and decrease the number of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), but
will not affect the catheter re-insertion rate.

Primary Objectives
- Specific Aim 1: Investigate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on the rate
of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs).
- Specific Aim 2: Investigate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on the number
of catheter days.
- Specific Aim 3: Evaluate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on the rate of
catheter re-insertion.
- Specific Aim 4: Evaluate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on overall
mortality in patients with indwelling catheters.
- Specific Aim 1: Investigate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on the rate

- Specific Aim 3: Evaluate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on the rate of
catheter re-insertion.
- Specific Aim 4: Evaluate the effect of a urinary-catheter removal alert on overall
mortality in patients with indwelling catheters.
Inclusion Criteria:
- All admissions with an indwelling urinary catheter will be randomly assigned to
intervention vs. control (usual care) conditions.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and pediatric patients
