CIED Infection Quality Initiative Demonstration Project

Multidisciplinary team will be established that will define gaps in care, monitor ongoing data, identify barriers to guideline-directed care, and develop and implement multifaceted intervention to address the barriers

An outreach visit consulting group from the coordinating center and trial leadership will provide external guidance on reviewing data, defining barriers, and implementing interventions

These interventions are not limited to targeted engagement with non-extractors, electronic health record (EHR) decision support, creation of OR block time, use of opinion leaders, and development of clinical pathways. In addition, once patients are identified and referred to extraction centers, clinical pathways are needed to provide prompt care without clinical delay

The coordinating center will provide ongoing feedback related to the site's data. This will include time to diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes related to the device infection.
