title: Highlighting award-winning quality initiatives.
abstract: Recent award-winning hospitals and health systems share insights into their programs and initiatives that promote quality of care. While these programs address vast and different areas--using ACE inhibitors, expanding community services, providing mental health support, reducing nosocomial pneumonia, and enhancing patient safety--they all have one thing in common: Their work represent weeks, years, and even decades of extraordinary vision, planning, and just plain hard work to successfully provide quality care to patients and communities.
