Ongoing Research Study The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combined bundles in reducing Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) in patients undergoing colorectal surgeries. The primary hypothesis is that there will be a decreased incidence in colorectal SSIs after bundles of care implementation Sacred Encounters Perfect Care Healthiest Communities 7

Ongoing Research Study Specific study aims are to: Assess the incidence of colorectal SSIs before and after the implementation of evidence-based universal, colorectal, & ERP bundles of care Determine staff adherence with the bundle components Determine readmission and mortality rates in this patient population Sacred Encounters Perfect Care Healthiest Communities 8

Review of Literature Incidence and impact of Surgical Site Infections Colorectal rate highest, 15 - 30% Cost - $3,000 to $29,000. Physical and mental well-being Use of evidence-based care bundles Use of evidence-based practices can prevent greater than 30,000 infections, with an estimated collective saving of $834 million.

Study Design Quantitative study Predictive correlational design Retrospective Convenience sampling Sample size 180 subjects will give a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error Demographics Sacred Encounters Perfect Care Healthiest Communities 10

Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria Inclusion criteria Subjects undergoing colorectal surgeries as defined by the National Health and Safety Network (NHSN) ICD-10 codes for that category Primary wound closure Exclusion criteria Under age 18 Non-English speaking Sacred Encounters Perfect Care Healthiest Communities 11

Data Collection Retrospective chart review Audit tool for non-documented interventions Subjects de-identified Subject coding kept in a secure, locked, single location during data collection When data collection is complete, the identifier information will be destroyed Data will be stored and analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 24 Sacred Encounters Perfect Care Healthiest Communities 12

Status and Preliminary Results Data collection ongoing Complete data gathered on 92 subjects Compliance increase over time Specific elements resistant to compliance Decrease in SIR, with outliers Based on success, implemented similar protocol in spine surgery Incidence of treatable BGM Normothermia maintenance related to surgical positioning Additional study based on data trends Sacred Encounters Perfect Care Healthiest Communities 13
