Aligning House Staff Performance Improvement Projects With Hospital Priorities: An Innovative Approach

摘要

Background:As hospital leaders work to meet national performance improvement (PI) priorities and provide high-value healthcare, aligning house staff goals with those of the hospital organization becomes necessary. A hospital leadership goal is to achieve the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Triple Aim with the delivery and measurement of high-value care through various PI frameworks, including the domains of the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC), now Vizient. However, most house staff develop PI projects within their departments, and these projects do not always align with hospital priorities. We sought to determine the extent of alignment between the house staff and the hospital.
