H-MH Quality and Safety Improvement Projects Sample Clauses

H-MH Quality and Safety Improvement Projects. (QSIP). In addition, each awardee shall implement at least two of the six Quality and Safety Improvement Projects outlined in this STC. These QSIPs will include interventions that have been demonstrated to produce measurable and significant results across different types of hospital settings, including in safety net hospitals; have a strong evidence base, meaning interventions that have been endorsed by a major national quality organization, with reasonably strong evidence established in the peer reviewed literature, including within the safety net; and are meaningful to hospital patients. An awardee is precluded from choosing any QSIP for which it has achieved top performance for at least 4 consecutive quarters, in aggregate in all process and outcomes measures within the intervention, where “top performance” is defined as being in the Top Quartile. Each QSIP below has specific measures that an awardee must include; however, awardees may include additional milestones to enable the implementation of the measures specified for the intervention. Milestones for the QSIPs can include infrastructure, redesign, implementation of evidence-based processes, and measurement and achievement of evidence-based outcomes. Awardees must include for each year a milestone for reporting the data on each QSIP to the Department. Improvement Targets will be determined based on the progress an awardee has already made on the improvement project pursuant to baseline data collected as of January 1, 2012. The 3-year end goals for each measure will be to move from one performance band to the next, except in the case of hospitals that are in the Top Band where the goal will be to move into the Top Quartile. Hospitals will be placed in one of 3 bands based on baseline performance as compared to state or national data on hospital performance, including safety net hospital performance, as follows: “Lower band” performers, as defined as the bottom one-third (1-33 percentile) of hospitals, will target moving into the middle-third performance band;
