Hospital Patient Safety

In the 9th Scope of Work, select hospitals in Delaware are focusing their quality improvement efforts in several key areas, in a collaborative effort to improve the level of patient safety delivered to Delawareans with Medicare.

Improvements in patient safety will be evidenced in:

  • The reduction in the incidence of MRSA infections in hospitals
  • The improvement in inpatient surgical safety and heart failure treatment in hospitals
