Quality & Patient Safety
Quality and Patient Safety
The CU Division of Hospital Medicine Quality and Patient Safety Program is dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of care to patients through the promotion of a culture of iterative improvement and by developing hospitalist leaders in quality and patient safety. Using a data-driven strategy, our goals are to optimize care, reduce inefficiencies, prevent adverse events, and develop innovative care models that can be disseminated locally and nationally.
The DHM Quality and Safety Program core leadership team meets monthly with the DHM Quality Action Committee (QUAC), which is comprised of DHM members interested in quality and patient safety and the Data Dream Team, to discuss performance on key metrics, design strategy, review patient safety outcomes and develop action items around patient safety events.
