Introduction This final project report summarizes the results of nine indepth case studies we completed as part of a modification to the ACTION (Accelerating Change and Transformation in Organizations and Networks) Task Order " Promoting Safety and Quality Through Human Resource Practices, " titled " Extending the Search for High-Performance Work Practices (HPWPs) in Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) Interventions. " Findings are based on 223 key informant interviews completed across the nine sites. Sites studied in this project included one site originally studied during the first phase of this task order and eight new health care organizations selected based on their participation in the federally funded Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) initiative, designed to reduce central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). We used the case study format to explore whether and how the implementation of HPWPs facilitates successful reduction of CLABSIs.
