Our Goals

As we continue our journey to zero serious harm, SPS is developing a strategic plan for 2030. By leveraging our network's expertise and collaborating with key partners, we aim to build on our successes to eliminate serious harm. In 2025, we will enter a growth phase, refining our strategy and establishing clear multi-year goals for 2026-2030. This focus will help us maintain momentum in our harm reduction efforts.

Through broad stakeholder input, SPS has identified the following 2025 goals to provide the Network’s 140+ children’s hospitals with clear, shared patient and employee/staff harm reduction goals:

By December 31, 2025, the Network will achieve a: 

  • 5% reduction in Central Line-associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI) rate

  • 5% reduction in ICU Unplanned Extubations (UE) rate

  • 5% reduction in Overexertion (OE) Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate

  • 8% reduction in Patient Behavioral Events (PBE) Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rate
