It integrates safety practices into daily work. Safety becomes embedded into
the fabric of the unit and ceases to become an extra initiative with which staff
must comply.
It translates. CUSP works across the health care world, regardless of region,
language spoken or type of health care organization. Thats because its core
principlesthat errors are most often the result of broken systems, and that
culture is linked to the quality of careare common wherever you go.
It has easier buy-in. When a CUSP unit decides to take on a project, caregivers
are more likely to become engaged in the effort because the initiative comes
from them. CUSP embraces the wisdom of the frontline caregivers in identifying
safety issues and working to resolve them.
CUSP Framework
Though CUSP itself is comprised of five steps, the program is a continuous, cyclical
process.
Pre-CUSP Work
At least 2 months prior to CUSP kick-off:
CUSP Framework
1. Train staff in the science of safety
Provide this training to all members of a unitanyone who spends greater than 60
percent of their time working on the unit-- before the CUSP kick-off meeting, and
regularly thereafter for new staff. Johns Hopkins recommends that all staff benefit from
science of safety training, regardless of whether or not their unit will be a CUSP unit:
understand the basic principles of safe design that include: standardize work,
create independent checks (checklists) for key processes, and learn from
mistakes
understand that teams make wise decisions when there is diverse and
independent input
What happened?
A defect is any clinical or operational event or situation that you would not want to
happen again. These could include incidents that you believe caused patient harm or
put patients at risk for significant harm.
5. Implement tools for improvement
The safety team members highlight several priority areas needing improvement and use
the many tools in the public domain to address them. Examples: Morning Briefing(for
communication and rounding efficiency), Shadowing Other Providers (for collaboration,
teamwork and communication) and Daily Goals(for communication and care plan).
A critical success factor of using tools for improvement is measuring compliance with
the tool. It is not enough to simply state that the tools are being used. Staff-friendly
reports of compliance should be posted in the ward, along with infection reports. The
combination of these reports (seeing infections decrease as compliance increases)
should be a motivating factor for continuous improvement.
We suggest that each unit adopt and implement three tools per year.
Ongoing CUSP Framework
Establish real-time data feedback
To drive improvement and keep frontline staff engaged, post staff-friendly reports of
compliance in the unit, along with infection reports to show their correlation. Safety
teams should periodically (every three to six months) complete the team check-up tool
to identify needs and problems the safety team has been facing.
