Using the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program, the Armstrong Institute will look to the Michigan Health & Hospital Association Keystone Center in Okemos and UHC to implement CUSP’s strategies nationwide in an effort to lower the rates of this healthcare-associated infection.

The project will begin in early 2014 and is expected to last for two years.
