Key: AMC = academic medical center; CLABSI = central line–associated bloodstream infection; CUSP = Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program; HPWP = high-performance work practices; ICU = intensive care unit; NA = not applicable; NICU = neonatal intensive care unit.
a A safety net hospital or health system provides a significant level of care to low-income, uninsured, and vulnerable populations.
b Site 4 was initially classified as lower performing based on CUSP project data and input from the project liaison. However, as this hospital had made a successful turnaround since the conclusion of the CUSP project, we believe that it is more appropriately categorized as higher performing for the purposes of our study.
c Site 9 was not a participant in the CUSP initiative; thus we designated this hospital as an HPWP site and did not classify its performance with respect to CLABSI rate reduction efforts.
