Slide 26. Table of Roles in the Implementation of CUSP-CLABSI
  1. Core team prepares State Coordinators to implement CUSP-CLABSI using a Professional Development Workshop that
    1. Familiarizes them with the project and the materials;
    2. Teaches them how to teach using these materials; and
    3. Teaches them how to facilitate others in implementing CUSP-CLABSI
  2. State Coordinators / core team prep are hospital teams of representatives to implement CUSP-CLABSI using a Train the Trainer method that
