Ambulatory CUSP (Comprehensive Unit Based Safety Program) Training
Ambulatory CUSP is Foundations of CUSP for Ambulatory practices and staff. Ambulatory CUSP is delivered during a two-day workshop (4 hours each day) using an innovative game platform to simulate the experience of preparing a team to work together towards safety goals, launching the CUSP team, and sustaining an effective, engaged team over time. Working together in groups, learners devise solutions to common barriers, develop a firsthand understanding of the roles of different CUSP team members, and learn from the experiences of other teams.
Before the workshop, participants must complete nine online modules that provide fundamental CUSP concepts. The workshop is currently presented in Microsoft Teams and learners have access to a CUSP Microsoft Team site for their Cohort as well as invited to 9 cohort calls during the year after the workshop. The Ambulatory leadership team at John Hopkins Medicine also hosts Collaborative calls for JHM Ambulatory Teams.
