WellSpan Receives Prestigious American Hospital Association Prize for Commitment to Quality
WellSpan Health, a healthcare provider in Pennsylvania and Maryland, has been awarded the American Hospital Association (AHA) Quest for Quality prize for leadership and innovation in quality performance improvement. According to the AHA, WellSpan’s safety infrastructure was particularly impressive, with daily huddles used to escalate any potential issues across the organization to ensure decisions regarding patient care could be made quickly and efficiently. The healthcare provider also aimed to create a sense of psychological safety within the organization, so that all team members, including frontline care providers, could feel empowered to share their perspectives and quickly address any safety issues that may arise. This approach led to a significant decrease in serious safety events during care, as well as a significant increase in team members who felt empowered to stop the line and report patient safety events.
