Electronic health record solutions to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections by enhancing documentation of central line insertion practices, line days, and daily line necessity

Highlights • Current reporting of CLIP compliance is artificially inflated. • Using CVC placement as a denominator is a truer measure of CLIP compliance. • EHRs can improve capture of CVC line days, decreasing CLABSI rates. • EHRs enable compliance with daily documentation of line necessity.
