APHA National Indicator Project

APHA invites member hospitals to participate in the “National Collection and Reporting of Safety & Quality Indicators by Private Hospitals”.  Through this landmark initiative, private hospitals will be able to compare key safety, quality and performance measures with each other for the first time.  In addition, the collection will provide an opportunity for shared learning to facilitate safety & quality improvement across the private hospital sector.

APHA has been conducting a pilot of the collection for the past 12 months and is now ready to implement a national rollout.  Please read the attached brochure and learn more about this important project.  Participation is free for all APHA members.

The National Collection and Reporting of Safety & Quality Indicators by Private Hospitals represents another great APHA member benefit.
