      Objectives:

      • Discuss the importance of infection prevention, in general, and catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), in particular.
      • Provide a brief overview of how to prevent CAUTI with a focus on recent data, and describe both technical and socio-adaptive aspects to reducing healthcare-associated infection.
      • Define “intersectional innovations” and distinguish intersectional innovations from “directional innovations”.
      • Provide an overview of the intersectional innovations that could impact infection prevention efforts such as human factors engineering, management science, and mindfulness.
