CMS project seeks innovative hospital quality practices to share nationwide
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services invites hospitals to submit innovative quality improvement practices to its Strategic Innovation Engine, which will evaluate them for possible dissemination across the nation. Targeted improvements include managing patients with multiple chronic conditions; engaging patients and families as active members of the care team; coordinating care within and across settings; streamlining patient flow; and integrating behavioral health into care. Organizations whose practices are selected will be recognized and celebrated nationally. For more information, contact info@sie.qioprogram.org or email swoodford@aha.org. AHA’s Health Research & Educational Trust affiliate is a partner in the initiative.
