AHA conducted focused discussions on quality issues over three months. The program launched in April 2023 and included 104 leaders. The discussions identified three areas where hospitals excelled and three where more improvement is needed.

Patient safety
Infection prevention, including hospital-acquired infections s and readmissions
Emergency preparedness and response
Improvement areas
