Children's Hospital Boston is committed to providing the highest quality pediatric care to all patients and families. The primary goal of our institution-wide Program for Patient Safety and Quality (PPSQ) is to ensure that all care is safe, highly effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable. Through the work of the PPSQ, we set standards for our practice and measure ourselves against our own prior performance and against other children's hospitals nationwide. In addition, external healthcare quality organizations measure the care we provide and how we deliver it.
Tracking and monitoring comprehensive pediatric safety and quality metrics helps us at Children's to continually assess and improve our care. Patient outcomes information, reportable events, and links to external sources will help to demonstrate how our care is evaluated, in many different dimensions.
Also, for a glimpse of how Children's trains for optimum safety, watch clips from our videos "Safe Care in the Operating Room" sponsored and funded by the anesthesia department at Children's and "National Patient Safety Goals in Practice" produced by Children's nurse Elizabeth Norton, BSN, RN, CNOR.
