Hospitals participating in the QIO program's healthcare-associated infection (HAI) initiative are part of a national effort focused on reducing HAI rates by 50%. The initiative seeks to reduce central line-associated blood stream and catheter-associated urinary tract infections as well as Clostridium difficile and surgical site infections.
The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) and the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) are pleased to announce the New York State Partnership for Patients (NYSPFP), an initiative to reduce hospital-acquired complications by 40% and preventable readmissions by 20%.
