CHG Bath/Treatment must be given each day to a patient in the ICU or outside the ICU with a central line, hemodiaylsis catheter, PICC, midline, or accessed port and the CHG must be documented appropriately. Exceptions would include: allergy to CHG, comfort measures only, and/or physician refused.
As part of the 2019.3 Meditech Updates: A new intervention is being created called Hygiene Care.
Hygiene Care is a new standalone intervention optimizing the documentation process for capturing hygiene and CHG bathing information, documentation should be completed on admission and every shift.
Attached is additional education on CHG Baths.
Please ensure completion and documentation of CHG Bath on required patient population.
