The Infection Control Continuous Quality Improvement (IC-CQI) tool was developed in an acute teaching hospital in London, with over 1,200 inpatient beds and 8,000 staff spread across 7 hospitals on separate sites, providing emergency, general medicine, surgery, critical care, maternity, neonatal, and cancer services. To create an IC-CQI tool and reporting framework the infection prevention team used the Pronovost Knowledge Translation Cycle 17 to review the current hand hygiene monitoring tool, and to develop a quality improvement data collection tool. Intermittent validation was then undertaken of IC-CQI results including hand hygiene product availability, isolation practices, appropriateness of use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and compliance with standards of invasive devices insertion and management throughout the implementation period. ./cache/cord-253487-gl5lozn9.txt ./txt/cord-253487-gl5lozn9.txt
