CFMC will continue its unified approach for all national inpatient
topics, the Regional Meetings. The inpatient clinical topics include a
total of 22 quality of care measures. All hospitals and managed care
organizations (MCOs) in the state will be encouraged to continue
developing rapid cycle quality improvement projects in each clinical
topic area. Since, July 1999, CFMC's Quality Summit team has
traveled across the state to work with hospitals. These local meetings
provide education on the national priority topics and quality
improvement techniques. They also provide a non-threatening environment
for local hospitals to share their success stories as well as barriers
and lessons learned. Between meetings the Hospital Inpatient Team remains in constant, proactive contact with the hospitals.
