Redesigning Systems to Improve Quality for Hospitalized Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Interdisciplinary Communication, Interpersonal Relations, Adverse Event, Interprofessional Relations

In brief

Despite recent improvements, healthcare systems are still a long way from consistently delivering high quality care to hospitalized patients. In this study, the research team is assisting hospitals in implementing a set of complementary, mutually reinforcing interventions to redesign care for hospitalized medical patients. The investigators anticipate the interventions will improve teamwork and patient outcomes and that identifiable factors and strategies will be associated with successful implementation.
