Retrospective data will be collected pre-intervention. The interventions will then be implemented for a total of six months and will continue through the data collection period. Prospective data collection will start three months after the intervention is started and will continue for a total of 12 months.
The aim of this Quality Initiative (QI) demonstration project is to develop a model to increase guideline-driven care for patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) infection. Multidisciplinary teams will be established to carry out the multifaceted intervention. This program seeks to improve early identification and diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and faster time to treatment of CIED infection.
