Hospitals in pursuit of excellence

Compendium for Transforming Care Delivery

Change can be uncomfortable. But no matter how sophisticated, hospitals and health care systems need to progress—to redefine, change and be relevant. Hospital teams are working to find better ways to provide high-quality care at lower costs to improve the health of people in their communities. Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence: A Compendium of Action Guides 2014 is a collection of action-oriented resources designed to help hospitals and health care systems accelerate performance improvement and transform health care delivery. Each guide offers strategies, tools, case examples, and even questions for organizational assessment. Topics covered in the 2014 compendium span population health, integrated delivery systems, equity of care, value-based contracting, behavioral health integration, environmental sustainability in hospitals, the intergenerational health care workforce, and leadership skills for the future health care organization.

HPOE.org features case studies, guides, infographics, webinars and other resources to support care delivery transformation.
