Patient Safety Culture Change

Patient Safety Awareness Week 2022
March 16, 2022 | 11:00 - 12:00PM PT

How can a health plan incentivize hospitals to develop reliable, sustainable and transparent cultures of safety? Learn about a groundbreaking new partnership of Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), BETA Healthcare Group (BETA) and Hospital Quality Institute (HQI) that rewards hospitals for participating in HQI Cares: Implementing BETA HEART® (HQI Cares), a comprehensive, multi-year program aimed at transforming patient safety and caregiver well-being. HQI Cares is now a part of IEHP’s Hospital Pay for Performance Program providing financial rewards to hospitals that meet quality improvement targets.

At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to

  • Learn about the benefits of HQI Cares: Implementing BETA HEART, a comprehensive program underway in 25 California hospitals designed to change patient safety culture and improve staff well-being. 
  • Understand how the program’s implementation is being conducted through an innovative partnership of three entities (a managed care health plan, a professional liability insurance company, and a quality improvement arm of a state hospital association.)
