This toolkit was developed by The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to support implementation of Teamwork and Communication skills, Perinatal Safety Strategies, and In Situ Simulation training.
The Toolkit is organized around three pillars—Teamwork and Communication for Perinatal Safety, Perinatal Safety Strategies, and In Situ Simulations—that an L&D unit can use to teach team members how to apply CUSP to prevent obstetrical adverse events. Use of this toolkit can create or enhance a culture of patient safety to significantly reduce preventable errors.
