In the 9th Scope of Work, select hospitals in West Virginia will focus their quality improvement efforts in several key areas, in a collaborative effort to improve the level of patient safety delivered to West Virginians with Medicare.
Improvements in patient safety will be evidenced in:
- The reduction in the incidence of MRSA infections in hospitals
- The reduction in the incidence of pressure ulcers in hospitals
- The reduction in the incidence of drug-on-drug interactions (DDI) and the prescription of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) in hospitals
- The improvement in inpatient surgical safety and heart failure treatment in hospitals
