On the CUSP: Stop BSI in Florida's ICUs
FHA Initiative to Stop Blood Stream Infections in Florida ICUs
Florida hospitals are invited to participate in a new FHA initiative focused on reducing central-line associated blood stream infections (CLABSI) in ICUs. This project seeks to replicate the success of Michigan Hospital & Health System's Keystone Centers two-year collaborative to reduce the incidence of CLABSI, using the Comprehensive Unit Based Safety Program (CUSP) and CLABSI reduction protocols developed by Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD, and others at Johns Hopkins University.
Each participating ICU will:
- Learn how to apply the CUSP program and CLABSI reduction tools
- Receive tools for measuring CLABSI and safety culture in ICUs
- Receive ongoing support through monthly calls
- Have access to expert faculty for conference calls and face-to-face meetings
- Receive a detailed ICU Operations Manual
