AHRQ Tools Improve Care, Safety for St. Luke’s University Health Network Obstetric Patients

St. Luke’s University Health Network – a non-profit, integrated network providing services at nine hospitals and more than 300 sites in Pennsylvania and New Jersey – is improving the culture of safety in its obstetrics (OB) units by using a combination of AHRQ’s Surveys on Patient Safety Culture™ Hospital Survey and TeamSTEPPS. The network also used elements of AHRQ’s Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) and Toolkit for Reducing Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) in developing a CLABSI checklist to improve care in the neonatal intensive care unit.
