The Challenge

How do we provide and sustain the highest quality and safest care for every patient, every time in the current

environment of diminishing resources?

What is CUSP?

• Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program• An intervention to learn from mistakes and

improve safety culture for sustained improved patient outcomes

On the CUSP:Process Intervention

Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP)

-Improve or reinforce good cross-disciplinary communication and teamwork

-Enhance coordination of care

-Address overall patient safety

-Work towards healthy unit culture

Reduction Protocol

-Best-evidence supplies, organization of supplies

-Ensuring all patients receive the best practices

-Checklist, protocol to ensure consistent application of evidence

The CUSP Steps

1. Educate staff on Science of Safety

2. Identify defects

3. Assign executive to adopt unit

4. Learn from defects

5. Implement teamwork tools

Step 1: Science of Safety

• Understand system determines performance

• Use strategies to improve system performance– Standardize– Create independent checks for key process– Learn from mistakes

• Apply strategies to both technical work and team work

• Recognize teams make wise decisions with diverse and independent input

Step 2: Identify Defects

• Review quality data, error reports, liability claims, sentinel events or Morbidity/Mortality conference

• Perform Staff Safety Assessment - Ask staff how will the next patient be harmed

Prioritize Defects

• List all defects, area for improvement

• Discuss with staff what are the three greatest risks

Learn. Act. Improve. Spread.Learn. Act. Improve. Spread. Keep the Drum Beat Keep the Drum Beat Going.Going.

Step 3: Executive Partnership

• Executive should become a member of unit team

• Executive should meet monthly with unit team

• Executive should review defects, ensure unit team has resources to reduce risks, and hold team accountable for improving risks and patient outcomes

Step 4: Learning from Each Incident

• What happened?• Why did it happen (system lenses) ?• What could you do to reduce risk ?• How do you know risk was reduced ?– Create policy / process / procedure– Ensure staff know policy/process– Evaluate if policy/process is used

correctly

Step 4: Identify Most Important Contributing Factors

• Rate each contributing factor– Importance of the problem and

contributing factors in causing the accident/incidence

– Importance of the problem and contributing factors in future accidents

Learn. Act. Improve. Spread.Learn. Act. Improve. Spread. Keep the Drum Beat Keep the Drum Beat Going.Going.

Step 4: Identify Most Effective Interventions

• Use QI tools to identify effective intervention/process

• Rate Each Intervention– How well the intervention solves the

problem or mitigates the contributing factors for the accident

– Rate the team belief that the intervention will be implemented and executed as intended

Step 4: Evaluate Whether Risks Were Reduced

• Did you create a new process/policy or procedure

• Do staff know about the new process/policy

• Are staff using it as intended• Do staff believe risks have been reduced

Step 5: Teamwork Tools –Improving Communication and Process

• TeamSTEPPS Tools• Daily goals• AM briefing• Shadowing• Call list• Creating an environment where all feel

safe to speak up for safety• Culture check up

CUSP is a Continuous Effort

• Add Science of Safety education to orientation

• Learn from one defect per quarter, share or post lessons Implement teamwork tools that best meet the unit’s needs

• More details are in the CUSP manual
