Mayo's bloodstream-infection rate hits five-year low after central-line redesign

A reworked insertion bundle and a no-blame dashboard cut CLABSI by 41%, the system reports.


Mayo Clinic reported its lowest central-line-associated bloodstream-infection (CLABSI) rate in five years, citing a reworked insertion bundle and a unit-level dashboard that the system describes as deliberately “no-blame.”

CLABSI rates fell 41% across Mayo’s three Rochester campuses between Q1 and Q4, the system said.
