Even While Considering Major Overhaul, Democrats Expand Government Role In Public Health
"As if hedging their bets on health reform, Democrats are emphasizing smaller but still significant health-related investments this year, from food safety and community health centers to a greater emphasis on rooting out abuses in Medicare and Medicaid," Politico reports. "It"s a far cry from the more ambitious government-backed insurance option proposed by President Barack Obama and House Democrats.

Healthcare Association Of New York State Announces Pinnacle Awards For Quality And Patient Safety

The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) has awarded its ninth annual Pinnacle Award for Quality and Patient Safety to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Winthrop-University Hospital, St. Mary"s Hospital at Amsterdam, and Stony Brook University Medical Center for their efforts in developing and implementing initiatives to improve care in each facility. HANYS created the Pinnacle Award for Quality Improvement in 2001 to recognize member hospitals and health care systems that significantly improve the health and safety of their patients. The program recognizes and encourages broad dissemination of successful quality improvement and patient safety initiatives. In the Mult-Entity or System Award, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City was honored for its effort to promote a culture of safety. The Hospital implemented "Patient Safety Fridays: A Method for Advancing a Culture of Safety," across its five campuses, where each Friday, up to 1,000 members of the entire management staff convene at each site for a one-hour session on one clinical and one environment of care topic. Through this process, the organization addressed 65 environments of care and 100 clinical measures throughout the year. Major improvements have achieved in areas such as: hand hygiene compliance, which increased from 70% to 96%; medication reconciliation compliance, which improved from 76% to 100%; and patient verification compliance, which improved from 78% to 100%.
