The Partnership for Patient Care is a multiyear patient safety initiative that includes the Health Care Improvement Foundation, Independence Blue Cross, and healthcare organizations across southeastern Pennsylvania.
The program's objective is to accelerate the effective adoption of evidence-based clinical practices by pooling the resources, knowledge, and efforts of healthcare providers and other stakeholders.
Participating facilities will take a confidential patient safety survey to assess CT scanning services at the start of the program as a baseline, and again at the end of the program to assess improvement. The program will record CT radiation dose data, ongoing educational seminars, assistance in implementing action goals, and participation in a collaborative website. | |
