Quality Professional

Providing high-quality care to every patient in a safe environment is the goal of all hospitals and a daily focus of their activities. THA collects data and puts it to work through initiatives and policies to improve hospitals’ health care quality, patient safety and outcomes.

THA is collaborating with more than 340 member hospitals on at least one quality improvement initiative. From the largest systems to the smallest critical access hospitals, THA is helping through the:

• Patient Safety Organization.
• Critical Access Hospital Quality Improvement.
• Peer Review Network
• CIC Prep
• Nuggets of Knowledge

Data are a key component to each of these initiatives. But the true improvement work happens in collaboration, education, consultation and disruption of old patterns and habits. And that involves relationships, trust and on-the-ground support.
