We started our journey almost 5 years ago, initiating the central line bundle in our ICU. We put together a "procedure cart" to have all items available to increase compliance. Nurses here were not initially comfortable with acting as the CL police, but they quickly embraced the challenge. We average about 200 CL catheter days per month (1200/yr) and longest we have gone without a CLABSI was 17 months. Currently we can't seem to get past a 7 month stretch, but we keep working at it!
