National Healthcare Quality Week is October 16-22, 2016, and brings attention to the profession of health care quality and celebrates the work of the individual health care quality management professionals. While always vital to the healthcare process, health care quality management has been moved to the forefront of the industry in recent years.
Health care quality management professionals ensure that their facilities meet the requirements established by standard setters like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission, DNV, and others. They use established quality management principles to study a wide range of performance data, including patient outcomes and satisfaction. To assure that best practices and regulatory standards are followed, health care quality management professionals apply process improvement tools and methodologies and other skills.
In recognition of National Healthcare Quality Week, all Cooper employees are invited to attend the following webinars as their schedules allow:
