Patient Safety Dashboard
Patient safety is a top priority for Missouri’s Hospitals.
Missouri Hospital Association and the Hospital Industry Data Institute are reinforcing our commitment to help Missouri hospitals improve their patient safety efforts. To support hospitals in meeting the new CMS Patient Safety Structural Measure that took effect Jan. 1, 2025, we have developed a new Patient Safety Dashboard within the HIDI Advantage Care Optics® portfolio. This complimentary, interactive tool provides key patient safety and quality metrics, benchmarking capabilities, and insights to help hospitals identify best practices. It also will enhance MHA’s advocacy efforts by identifying statewide resources needed to support hospital-led safety initiatives.
As part of the FY2025 final rule, CMS is requiring hospitals participating in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) program to report on the Patient Safety Structural Domain Metrics. Why? Structural domain metrics provide a way for hospitals to address a topic for which no outcome measure exists. CMS expects that by attesting to these metrics, hospitals will develop evidence-based programs and processes to support the improvements in high impact areas. CMS has created five domains for measurement:
- Leadership commitment to eliminating preventable harm.
- Strategic planning and organizational safety.
- Culture of safety and learning health systems.
- Accountability and transparency.
- Patient and family engagement.
