AHHA has partnered with Telligen QI connect to participate in the CMS Hospital Quality Improvement Contract (HQIC) since September 2020. This initiative builds upon the success of the Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) and Hospital Innovations Network (HIIN) Partnership for Patients Initiative.

  • Improve Behavioral Health Outcomes with a focus on decreased opioid misuse

  • Increase Patient Safety with a focus on reduction of harm as well as readmissions

  • Increasing the Quality of Care Transitions to achieve high quality outcomes across the care continuum
     

Benefits:

​

  • Comprehensive COVID-19 management support with an emphasis on expanding your hospital’s public health emergency response capabilities

  • An experienced partner – our team offers decades of experience working with hospitals

  • Customized technical assistance and actionable data to include national benchmarking

  • Analytics support and a deep understanding of rural communities and vulnerable populations

  • The opportunity to join learning collaboratives using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Breakthrough Series Model and collaborate with stakeholders committed to quality improvement across the care continuum.
     

Working with CMS in the first round of Partnership for Patients, nationally we saved 23,000 patients from harm and reduced $336 million in health care spending.
