Sheet 1: Definitions

In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems (IPPS) for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long-Term Care Hospital (LTCH) Prospective Payment System (PPS) proposed rule , we proposed, for the FY 2016 payment determination and future years, some minor modifications to the Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) Validation Template required to be completed by hospitals selected for validation as part of the Inpatient Quality Reporting Program. We are providing the proposed Validation Template to invite public comment. As proposed, each hospital selected for CAUTI validation is to produce a list of positive urine cultures for ICU patients. • The line list should include all final results for all positive urine cultures with >= 10³ colony-forming units (CFUs)/ml collected during an ICU stay. For each patient confirm the patient had: 1) An ICU admission during this hospital stay; and 2) A positive urine culture collected during the ICU stay with >= 10³ CFU/ml. 3) Exclude positive cultures with more than 2 organisms present even if results are >=10³ CFU/ml.
