How else does University Hospital measure quality?
In addition to the many sources of publicly collected data, University Hospital also continually surveys patients on their experiences. This gives us immediate information on what we are doing well and what we need to address. Also, the doctors and nurses on our patient care floors, clinics, and offices have access to a wide range of reporting tools and quality information related to our patients on a secure intranet. Every person who works at University Hospital has the responsibility to meet quality goals as part of his or her job description. The entire effort is represented in a comprehensive quality plan that provides the roadmap for all the hospital’s quality goals. Updates are shared on our staff intranet and in our Management Forum meetings.
