Taking a systemwide approach to improving quality care.
For the past decade, health insurer Anthem has been working with more than 300 hospitals in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana in a quality program designed to help them better use clinical data, monitoring, outcomes, and best practices to improve care in their facilities and promote patient safety. The results have been stimulation of new quality programs at the hospital level and a sense of partnership.
