Welcome to NJHA Notifications - Quality & Safety
Apr 16, 3:00 PM
NJHA has a proud legacy of leadership in healthcare quality and safety. Our Health Research and Educational Trust of New Jersey was the first of its kind at the state level committed to education and research efforts to improve the care of patients and communities.
Knowledge has no borders and more knowledge means better preparation and overall results. Healthcare is no different. Hospitals, physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers work every day to design systems of care that are safe, effective, evidence-based and efficient. Taking that knowledge and sharing it with others benefits everyone. We can all learn from each other's successes and challenges and apply those lessons to continuously improve our performance.
The New Jersey Hospital Association and its member hospitals are currently participating in one of these innovations called Partnership for Patients. Partnership for Patients is a national initiative developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to improve the quality, safety and affordability of healthcare and builds on the previous four years of Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) efforts.
NJHA's Health Research and Educational Trust was selected by CMS to lead this new effort in New Jersey as a Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN) and strives to lead hospitals in rapid implementation of well-tested and measured best practices to reduce harm across the board.
