Harm Events: although infrequent and unfortunate occurrences do happen in hospitals despite best efforts to provide safe, quality of care. Preventing harm events in hospitals is a national and state effort. At Speare, we have chosen to participate in a national effort to reduce harm events sponsored by CMS/ Partnership for Patients and coordinated by the NH Hospital Association. Speare is participating in its 7th year in the Partnership for Patients and is showing a continued downward trend in our preventable harm events.
Preventable harm events are considered the following:
- Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection
- Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections
- Surgical Site Infections
- Serious Reportable Events
- Falls with Injury
- Adverse Drug Events with Significant Harm
- Certain Events with Harm
