National Priorities Partnership releases improvement agenda
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, November 18, 2008
The National Priorities Partnership, a coalition of healthcare organizations dedicated to improving patient care, released its improvement agenda last week. In the midst of a current economic crisis, the National Priorities Partnership is targeting six reform measures:
- Patient and family engagement to provide patient-centered, effective care
- Population health to bring greater focus on wellness and prevention starting in the communities
- Safety to improve reliability and eliminate errors wherever and whenever possible
- Care coordination to provide patient-centered, high-value care
- Palliative and end-of-life care to guarantee appropriate and compassionate care for patients with advanced illnesses
- Overuse to remove waste, encourage appropriate use, and achieve effective, affordable care
The National Priorities Partnership is made up of 28 organizations, including The Joint Commission, National Quality Forum, Hospital Quality Alliance, and Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement.
The National Priorities Partnership plans on enlisting more organizations in 2009, according to its Nov. 17 press release.
