Partnership for Patients Awards Contract to LifePoint Hospitals and Duke
Karen Frush, Mimi Huizinga, Bryan Sexton and Katherine Grichnik on behalf of LifePoint Hospitals and Duke were awarded a 2.3 million dollar Department of Health and Human Health Hospital Engagement contract to augment the quality of care across the LifePoint Hospital system.
This award is a part of the Partnership for Patients Initiative that brings together leaders of major hospitals, employers, physicians, nurses, and patient advocates along with state and federal governments in a shared effort
to make hospital care safer, more reliable, and less costly. As a part of this initiative, Hospital Engagement Networks are funded by the CMS Innovation Center, established by the Affordable Care Act.
“The goal of the Partnership for Patients program is for the nation’s finest health systems share their knowledge and resources to make sure every hospital knows how to provide all of its patients with the highest quality care,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
As the subcontractor, Duke will work with LifePoint to improve organizational performance and develop a culture of safety company-wide through team based training and education. Last year, Duke Health System partnered with LifePoint Hospitals to create a unique academic –private joint venture.* Duke’s role is to become LifePoint’s programmatic, safety, quality, and clinical service development partner.
“As part of this initiative, our quality and safety staff will work with international experts, including those at Duke University Health System, to assist us in expanding and enhancing our quality programming and training across the nation,” said LifePoint Chief Medical Officer Lanny Copeland, M.D.
“Duke has a long-standing commitment to patient safety and quality, and has gained national recognition for initiatives that strengthen and improve healthcare delivery,” said Karen Frush, M.D., chief patient safety officer for Duke University Health System. “We look forward expanding our successful partnership with LifePoint to create a program that incorporates patient safety initiatives, including evidenced-based tools, interventions and education, and complements the quality and safety programs LifePoint’s hospitals already have in place.”
