Case Study

Real-World Outcomes

Regional Medical CenterSouthwest United States
Challenge

A 320-bed regional medical center was experiencing above-benchmark CLABSI rates despite existing CHG wipe protocols. Nursing staff reported inconsistent wipe coverage and patient resistance to cold wipe applications.

Solution

The facility piloted Bed Shower™ Wib™ in their 28-bed medical-surgical unit, replacing CHG wipes with full-body CHG showering for all patients on contact precautions.

Result

CLABSI rates dropped 42% within 6 months. Nursing satisfaction scores for bathing procedures increased from 61% to 89%.

"The Wib changed everything for our unit. Patients actually look forward to their shower now, and our infection numbers speak for themselves."
