Use your existing LVAD multidisciplinary team meetings to review your team’s strengths and weaknesses regarding infection prevention.

Your team’s strengths and weaknesses can be assessed by reviewing your STS Intermacs reports, existing protocols (e.g., patient/caregiver education, management of driveline infections). Sources can be documented in the Data Collection Worksheet.

Your team will use these data and a summary of your discussions to identify which area(s) your team would like to work on.
