About
UHFS Quality Institute works to improve health and health care quality in New York by identifying and spreading best practices across the continuum of care, developing the next generation of quality improvement leaders, and helping to achieve consensus on the most effective quality assessment measures and patient engagement strategies. The Quality Institute builds on UHFS decade-long experience in implementing health care quality initiatives and grant-making activities, as well as its role as a neutral and trusted convener of diverse stakeholders in the health care community. UHF continues its work on behalf of the New York State Department of Health as part of its State Innovation Model initiative, which aims to spread the advanced primary care model throughout the state. As part of this effort, UHF staff continue to work on the annual refinement of the advanced primary care core measure set a set of standardized metrics including 28 quality measures across six domains. UHF staff also worked with the state on the implementation and refinement of a provider scorecard which includes a subset of the measures. During the past year, UHF, partnering with Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA), graduated the ninth class of its Clinical Quality Fellowship Program, and launched a new fellowship class of 29 physicians and nurses, equaling the largest ever class size. The program supports the training and professional development of early- and mid-career physicians and nurses from hospitals across the region to help them to lead and champion quality improvement initiatives in their own institutions. UHF concluded a year-long multi-faceted inquiry into post-acute care in early 2019. A series of four difficult decisions reports present findings from interviews with patients and their families, health care providers, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders, as well as UHFS own research. The final report of the series, Pathways to Progress on Difficult Decisions in Post-Acute Care, lays out a range of promising strategies and steps for tackling systemic barriers to more informed decision-making and for better supporting some 300,000 hospitalized New Yorkers and their families each year who need to make such decisions. Work concluded this year on a multi-year antibiotic stewardship initiative with the publication of a toolkit for organizations developing outpatient antibiotic stewardship programs which followed a peer-reviewed publication describing the model. Work also concluded this year on an 18-month initiative to develop and encourage the use of patient-reported outcomes in the primary care setting. A published implementation guide for primary care practices was supplemented with a brief on policy and practice implications and field reports from each of the three learning collaborative participants.
