Stop BSI: Project Summary

Case for change

On the CUSP: STOP BSI is a 2-year initiative of the Health Research and Educational Trust (HRET) of the American Hospital Association.  Kansas On the CUSP: STOP BSI project goals are to eliminate, or at least reduce CLABSI rates to no more than one infection per 1000 catheter days at the end of 2 years, and to improve safety culture on hospital units.  There is no charge for hospital teams to participate. Each participating hospital will learn how to apply the CUSP program and CLABSI reduction tools, receive tools for measuring CLABSI and safety culture in units, and receive ongoing support from expert facility.
