Defects
• To understand how to Implement the Staff
Safety Assessment
• To understand ways to use results of the
Staff Safety Assessment
2
Goals
• To identify defects
• To leverage the wisdom of the front line worker
• To prepare a list of improvement opportunities that
has face validity and provides a focus for CUSP
activities.

4
The CUSP Team
The smaller group that spreads the
intervention
to the rest of the unit
5
Education and engagement activities
on the unit
• BSI: Providing Evidence, Modeling the line
placement steps; stopping insertions that violate
protocol; having one-on-one talks where
necessary;
• Facilitating CUSP Activities

7
Identify Defects
• Review error reports, liability claims, sentinel events
or M and M conference
• Ask staff how the next patient will be harmed
8
Identifying Defects
What DO you know?
What SHOULD you know?
9
Transparency
Making project and progress visible
to everyone
10
How are We Going to Harm the Next
Patient?
One way to make harm visible-- get staff
thinking about safety and how to improve it
11
Step 2: Staff Identify Defects
Frontline caregivers are the eyes and ears of patient safety
• Identify clinical or operational problems that negatively
impact patient safety (have or could)
• Use the Staff Safety Assessment form (Part of CUSP manual)
– How will the next patient will be harmed in our unit
– What can be done to minimize patient harm or prevent this safety hazard
• Unit managers and team review suggestions, set the agenda
for discussion with executive partner
12
Appendix C
STAFF SAFETY ASSESSMENT – CUSP
Purpose of this form: The purpose of this form is to tap into your knowledge and experiences
at the frontlines of patient care to find out what risks are present on your unit that have or could
jeopardize patient safety.
Who should complete this form: All health care providers.
How to complete this form: Provide as much detail as possible when answering the 2
questions. Drop off your completed safety assessment form in the location designated by the
CUSP improvement team with your job category, date and unit in the top box (name is
optional).
When to complete this form: Assessing safety should be considered an iterative process with
no defined end (like a moving bicycle wheel). Thus, it can be filled out by any health care
provider at any time. At the very least, all health care providers should complete this form
semiannually.
Name (optional):
Job Category:
Date:
Unit:
Please describe how you think the next patient in your unit/clinical area will be harmed.
Please describe what you think can be done to prevent or minimize this harm.
Thank you for helping improve safety in your workplace!
13
Step 2: Staff Identify Defects
• What Team Leaders need to do:
• Hand out a Staff Safety Assessment form to all staff, clinical
and non-clinical, in the unit
• Establish a collection box or envelope
• Identify and group common defects (such as communication,
medications, patient falls, supplies, etc.)
• Summarize as frequencies (i.e., what percent of responses
were for communication)
14
Prioritize Defects
• List all defects
• Discuss with staff what are the three greatest risks
15
Step 2: Staff Identify Defects
• Report the identified defects to staff, executive
partner
• Unit managers and CUSP team prioritize defects
identified by the potential level of risk to the patient
• Select one to work on with support of Executive
• Step 2 should be ongoing
