The Right Care for Every Patient

As Medicare’s Quality Improvement Organization we are committed to helping you provide better care to hospital and nursing home patients. This means care that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.

We can provide your hospital or nursing home with networking and learning opportunities, technical assistance, and clinical resources to make care safer. Our current areas of focus are:

• Reducing health care-acquired infections in hospitals, including catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), Clostridium difficile infections (CDI), and surgical site infections (SSI)
• Reducing Nursing Home Health Acquired Conditions, including pressure ulcers and restraints
• Reducing Adverse Drug Events, focusing on high risk patients and polypharmacy
• Quality Reporting and Improvement, including inpatient and outpatient quality improvement assistance and reporting quality data
