C.U.S. technique

CUS is an acronym that stands for:
I’m concerned….
I feel uncomfortable…
I feel scared….

It originated as a technique for staff to use with physicians as a way to
express their level of disagreement or discomfort with an action or inaction affecting patient safety.  


Try using it in your business or organization - it can work anywhere:



“Tell me what concerns do you have about this new phone?
“I want you to be comfortable as possible, tell me is there anything about the phone that makes you uncomfortable?”
“I want to do all I can to ease your mind.  Is there anything that is making you feel anxious about this purchase – please tell me?
