Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence

Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence (H.P.O.E.) is a strategic platform to identify and disseminate field-tested practices, proven strategies, tools and resources that can support and advance hospital leaders' ongoing efforts to achieve performance excellence-care that meets the 6 IOM aims: safe, timely, efficiency, effectiveness, equity and patient-centered.
The platform focuses on the following areas of hospital care and operations that have proven to yield some of the greatest opportunities for improvement:

  1. Health care-acquired infections
  2. Medication management
  3. Patient throughput
  4. Patient safety

All hospitals are encouraged to share their own quality improvement experiences. By sharing best practices, all hospitals can improve the level of care that millions of US citizens count on everyday. Submit your case study today.
