3 areas of success — and improvement needed — in clinical quality

A recent American Hospital Association report found hospitals are making strides in patient safety and infection prevention, but are behind on clinical-quality measures like population health management and behavioral health.

AHA conducted focused discussions on quality issues over three months. The program launched in April 2023 and included 104 leaders. The discussions identified three areas where hospitals excelled and three where more improvement is needed.

Success areas

Patient safety

Infection prevention, including hospital-acquired infections s and readmissions

Emergency preparedness and response

 

Improvement areas

Population health management

Behavioral health

Health equity/social determinants of health
