safety and quality improvement Our Commitment to Transparency
Each day in a hospital, staff members undertake complicated tasks caring for patients. Johns Hopkins Medicine's patient safety efforts aim to ensure that all of these steps work together to deliver high-quality, compassionate care to all patients across our health system.
Patient Experience
Infection Prevention
These measures include the rate of CLABSIs, a preventable bloodstream infection and the percentage of observed hand washing or use of hand sanitizer before and after caring for a patient.
Delivery and Newborn Care
These measures are national standards of care and treatment processes for delivery and newborn care. Compliance shows how often a hospital follows each of these steps.
Surgical Volumes
Studies have shown a strong relationship exists between the number of times a hospital performs a specific surgical procedure and the outcomes for those patients.
Quality of Care Ratings
The quality of patient care star rating is a summary of how well the Johns Hopkins Home Care Group and Potomac Home Health Care perform on nine quality measures such as ambulation.
Pediatrics
These measures include national standards of treatment for common conditions, infection prevention, pain management and emergency department wait times for Johns Hopkins' pediatric divisions.
Hospital Readmissions
Johns Hopkins Medicine hospitals track the number of patients with unplanned readmissions to the hospital within the 30 days after being discharged.
Awards & Achievements
Johns Hopkins Health System hospitals and services consistently receive awards and honors for patient safety and quality, including Top Performer on Key Quality Measures by the Joint Commission, Magnet designation for nursing, HomeCare Elite and Delmarva Foundation Excellence Awards.
