Engaging health system boards in quality and safety: six must-know guidelines
The quality and patient safety movement of the early 21st century called for greater board of trustee involvement in improvement. However, too many health systems still don’t have the resources in place to effectively engage their boards around quality and safety measures.
Check out these six guidelines that describe how organizations can better leverage data to inform their boards:
- Emphasize quality and patient safety goals.
- Leverage National Quality Forum-endorsed measures.
- Use benchmarking and risk adjustment to select targets.
- Access data beyond the EHR.
- Provide data and information for multiple organizational levels.
- Develop a board-specific measurement and presentation strategy.
