Health plans regard patient safety as a top priority under their
quality improvement strategies. They have developed and implemented several
approaches to improve patient safety and increase awareness of safety-related
issues. Many of these efforts have targeted reductions in healthcare-acquired
infections and avoidance of never events. These approaches include use of
evidence-based care to prevent infections and improve safety during surgical
procedures; incentivizing hospitals for the reduction of hospital-acquired
conditions and infections; tracking and reporting infection rates; and
enhancing their quality improvement and monitoring programs.
