Massachusetts hospitals post pressure ulcer rates

Quality Improvement Monitor, January 25, 2008

The Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA) this week began publicly posting data on pressure ulcer rates at hospitals throughout the Bay State.

The public release of this data makes Massachusetts hospitals among the first in the nation to voluntarily report such data, according to a press release by the hospital association. The MHA is releasing the data as part of its Patients First initiative, a collaboration of the hospital association and the Massachusetts Organization of Nurse Executives.

Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to voluntarily post data on falls and falls with injury in the fall of 2007. Every hospital in the state is taking part in the initiative.
