Learn. Act. Improve. Spread. Keep the Drum Beat Going.2

Partnership for Patients (PfP)

The Partnership for Patients has set an ambitious goal for all U.S. hospitals: reduce preventable

all-cause harm rates 40% and readmissions 20% by end of 2013 in your organization.


Partnership for Patients: A Movement

Our hospital is part of a national movement for the triple aim to Put Patients First and make patient care: • safer• more reliable• less costly


Aim: To Reduce All Cause Harm

All preventable harm must be addressed to reach the goal but these are the areas of focus to begin: (Hospital can star their priorities based on your hospital data)

• Adverse Drug Events (ADE) (includes Medication Reconciliation)

• Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)• Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI)• Injuries from Falls and Immobility• Obstetrical Adverse Events (First: Early Elective Deliveries) • Pressure Ulcers• Surgical Site Infections• Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)• Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP)• Reduce Preventable Readmissions


Safe Care Not Only Important to Our Patients…. but also to Hospital Success

Payment for care is now based on quality not volume• Value Based Purchasing

– Medicare payment incentives/penalties to promote:• Achievement and improvement of high quality care• Annual Market update increased or reduced up to 2% by 2017

– Payment based on quality measures and Patient satisfaction (HCAPHS)– Higher scores = higher payments, low scores = lower payments

• Nonpayment for Hospital Acquired Conditions– Higher payment withheld if condition not present on admission

• Payment penalties for excessive readmissions


The Hospital's Reputation is Transparent

• Public Reporting of Quality and Patient Satisfaction Scores

• Patients/families using Social Media to discuss care


The Costs If We Do Not Meet Our Goals

• Patients will be harmed • Provide VBP Report on hospital’s projected

payment • Provide data on HAC cost
