More than 100 hospitals have signed up to participate in the Wisconsin Hospital Association's "Partners for Patients" project intended to help hospitals prevent avoidable hospital-acquired conditions and reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions.
Partnership for Patients is a national initiative aimed at reducing inpatient harm by 40 percent and readmissions by 20 percent over a three-year period in ten key areas. Through the project, hospitals will have access to evidence-based practices, staff training and opportunities for sharing practices.
WHA will hold two identical organizational events to launch the project: one in Eau Claire on May 1 and a second in Madison on May 10. Details on these two events will be shared soon with members.
