As of November 2017, 50 percent of South Dakota Compass Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN) hospitals are meeting four or more of the five Person & Family Engagement (PFE) metrics into their operations, an accomplishment worth noting.
The PFE metrics were developed as a strategy to improve patient safety by getting families and patients fully involved in health care decisions and conversations. PFE continues to be a major focus for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) due to the positive impact this can have on the quality of care hospitals provide. CMS has also created the PFE Roadmap Digests to help define and explain the intentions of each metric.
The Iowa Healthcare Collaborative (IHC) and South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations (SDAHO) would like to congratulate the following hospitals on achieving success in adopting the PFE metrics into their hospital operations. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Kok, SDAHO Improvement Advisor.
