Video Features Veteran Nurse Discussing Importance of Frontline Caregivers Using CUSP to Prevent Infection

A veteran nurse from a small rural hospital in Texas explains how AHRQ’s Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) is the “most powerful program” she has ever seen because it empowers frontline caregivers to make a difference. Her hospital hasn’t had a CLABSI in three years.

To learn more about CUSP and how nurses are using it, watch the video A Nurse’s Perspective http://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/education/curriculum-tools/cusptoolkit/videos/00_nurse/.
