The Harm Across the Board rate gives hospital boards and C-suites a single safety metric to track reductions in patient harm over time.
At Lea Regional Medical Center in Hobbs, N.M., every internal meeting begins with a safety moment. Whether a front-line staff huddle, a C-suite financial review or the convening of the 11-member community board, spending a few moments on safety at the top of each meeting serves as a reminder of the 201-bed hospital’s core mission: delivering the highest quality medical care to its community.
