Publication focuses on best practices of hospitals

NAPERVILLE — The Illinois Hospital Association has launched a new publication about efforts to improve hospital quality in Illinois.

Each issue of Quality Quarterly will include information on quality resources, tools, educational programs and best practices of IHA member hospitals.

Association President Maryjane Wurth says nearly 200 hospitals and health systems across Illinois have joined in an initiative called "Raising the Bar." The campaign's goal is to reduce readmissions and hospital-acquired infections and other conditions.

The hospital association is based in Naperville.
