A Strong Year and More to Come
In this final month of the year, and as we look toward 2024, we at HQI have been taking some time to reflect on the work we’ve been able to accomplish alongside hospital leaders throughout California and beyond.
Quality Quarterly
Now is a Great Time to Enroll in HQI Cares: Implementing BETA HEART®
Member hospitals are urged to consider joining HQI Cares: Implementing BETA HEART®, a state-of-the-art program to advance patient safety. Enrollment for 2024 is now open.
HQI Quality Analytics System Expands, Adds New Features to Support Hospitals
Use of HQI’s updated Hospital Quality Improvement Platform (HQIP) — a quality analytics system that consolidates disparate data sources into a single, statewide platform — continues to increase as more hospitals complete their contract reviews.
Calling All Experts: Need Your Help to Share Knowledge and Best Practices in 2024
In our ongoing commitment to elevating health care standards and offering educational opportunities, HQI/CHPSO is excited to kick off a campaign seeking experts and frontline professionals to contribute to webinars and Safe Tables throughout 2024.
New Opportunities Available in 2024 to Mitigate Workplace Violence
The safety and well-being of the health care workforce are fundamental preconditions to deliver safe and effective patient care. Workplace violence — a growing problem in California hospitals — jeopardizes both workforce wellness and the quality of care, and HQI is committed to helping hospitals address it.

Hospitals Have Opportunities to Protect Patients Receiving Hospice Care
Hospice care organizations provide services for the most vulnerable among us — those who are terminally ill and often wholly dependent on family or caregivers. Regrettably, among vulnerable populations, there is a concern about exploitation. The popular 2020 Netflix film “I Care a Lot” delves into a fictional narrative, unveiling fraudulent health care schemes targeting elderly, vulnerable patients. While fiction, it serves as a thought-provoking glimpse into the real hazards and fears patients may encounter in their pursuit of quality health care.

This year, we’re gathering in Lake Tahoe on Oct. 15-16 for the chance to connect and reconnect with peers and experts, and to tap into patient safety excellence, while zeroing in on zero-harm care.
