BMC Quality Goals FY 19

1. 10% reduction in preventable harm events. The Preventable Harm Index includes 16 Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HACs), such as clostridium difficile infections, central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and Patient Safety Indicators that are tied to external reputation and reimbursement.  BMC is predicted to meet goal for Preventable Harm Index Observed/Expected for FY18 <0.90, representing a 10-15% reduction in events from FY17. FY19 goal will be < 0.90.

2. Achieve top 25th percentile nationally in mortality with an Observed/Expected (O/E) mortality ratio of <0.845. BMC FY18 met goal at 0.789.
