Abstrakt: Great efforts are being made to reduce catheter associated urinary tract infections as they increase patient morbidity and are costly to health care centers. Although various catheter associated urinary tract infection prevention initiatives exist, efficient communication between physicians and nurses continues to be a significant barrier.
