The 2030 SPS Network strategy aims to position our collaborative of children’s hospitals as a global leader in safety, serving as the hub of safety innovation and improvement to achieve inspiring results. Using the full strength of our collective expertise, along with input from other key partners, we will capitalize on our considerable accomplishments and collaborative strength to further accelerate our mission to eliminate serious harm.

Through broad stakeholder input, SPS has identified the following 2030 goals to provide the Network’s 150+ children’s hospitals with clear, shared patient and employee/staff harm reduction goals.

By December 31, 2030, the Network will achieve a:

20% reduction in the overall network 12-month Central Line-associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) rate
25% reduction in the network ICU 12-month Unplanned Extubations (UE) – ICU rate
