The requirements of the Patient Safety Theme are designed to address areas of patient harm for which there is evidence of how to improve safety by improving health care processes and systems. For each topic within this Theme the goal will be to have providers working with the QIO to reach performance benchmarks on specific clinical measures. QIO activities under the Patient Safety Theme will focus on six components: improving inpatient surgical safety and heart failure (SCIP/HF), reducing rates of pressure ulcers (PrU-Nursing Homes and Hospitals), reducing rates of and use of physical restraints (PR) in nursing homes, improving drug safety, reducing rates of healthcare associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in the acute care setting and activities aimed at nursing homes in need (NHIN).
