| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 | SUMMARY OF PROGRAM SERVICES AND MISSION TO SUPPORT PUBLIC POLICIES THAT WILL PROMOTE THE MUTUAL INTERESTS OF ITS MEMBERS ON SUCH ISSUES AS HEALTH CARE FUNDING, QUALITY, ACCESS, AND OTHER PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE TO ITS MEMBERS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE PARTNERSHIP FOR QUALITY CARE IS A UNIQUE COALITION OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS DEDICATED TO GUARANTEED, AFFORDABLE, HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR EVERY MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD IN AMERICA. THE PARTNERSHIP FOR QUALITY CARE SUPPORTS PUBLIC POLICIES ON SUCH ISSUES AS HEALTH CARE FUNDING, QUALITY, ACCESS, AFFORDABILITY AND OTHER PUBIC POLICY ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE TO ITS MEMBERS. THE PARTNERSHIP FOR QUALITY CARE'S PURPOSE IS ALSO TO CONTRIBUTE AND PROMOTE GREATER COOPERATION BETWEEN LABOR AND MANAGEMENT; AND TO ASSIST ITS MEMBERS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS OF MUTUAL CONCERN THAT ARE NOT AMENABLE TO RESOLUTION THROUGH COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | PROGRAM SERVICE PQC MEMBERS HAVE IMPLEMENTED INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCE THE QUALITY OF HEALTH IN AMERICA. THE INITIATIVES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY PQC MEMBERS ARE GROUNDBREAKING AND CAN BE EXPANDED AND REPLICATED ACROSS THE NATION THROUGH THE PARTNERSHIP FOR QUALITY CARE (PQC). AS A GROUP, PQC MEMBERS EMPLOY OR REPRESENT ALMOST TWO MILLION HEALTHCARE WORKERS. OUR NATION MUST CHANGE THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT HEALTHCARE BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CLINICAL SETTING. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CHANGE ONLY WHAT GOES ON INSIDE THE FOUR WALLS OF A HOSPITAL. TOO MANY DISEASES ARE NOW THE RESULT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND LIFESTYLE. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BEFORE INDIVIDUALS ARE SICK ENOUGH TO REQUIRE HOSPITAL CARE. IT IS ALSO NOT ENOUGH TO EXPECT PATIENTS TO DO EVERYTHING. THE ESTIMATES ARE AS HIGH AS SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND AMERICANS WHO DIE EVERY YEAR FROM PREVENTABLE MEDICAL ERRORS AND MILLIONS MORE ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER AN INITIAL ADMISSION BECAUSE THEIR DISCHARGE PLAN WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE MEMBERS OF PQC ARE DETERMINED TO IMPROVE OUR NATION'S HEALTH FROM BOTH A CLINICAL AND A COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE. FROM A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE, PQC HAS FOCUSED ON ACHIEVING EFFECTIVE RESULTS BY TARGETING CLINICAL GOALS WITH QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. IN 2016, PQC INTENSELY FOCUSED ON: * REDUCING HOSPITAL-ACQUIRED INFECTION (HAI) RATES: A DEDICATED NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO IMMUNIZE HEALTH CARE WORKERS AGAINST INFLUENZA SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED IMMUNIZATION RATES. THE INITIATIVE GARNERED COLLABORATIVE PUBLIC ATTENTION OF LABOR AND MANAGEMENT ENDORSING THE IMPORTANCE OF IMMUNIZATION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS AGAINST INFLUENZA. PRE- AND POST-SEASON SURVEY RESULTS DEMONSTRATED DRAMATICALLY INCREASED IMMUNIZATION RATES AT MEMBER INSTITUTIONS THIS FOCUSED ACTIVITY AT MEMBER INSITUTIONS CONTINUES TO INCREASE THE OVERALL RATE OF IMMUNIZED HEALTH CARE WORKERS SINCE PQC BEGAN THIS INITIATIVE IN 2012. FOR 2017, PQC WILL ANALYZE STATE AND LOCAL REQUIRMENTS FOR IMMUNIZATION OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS. * IN LATE 2015 A DECREASE IN CHILDHOOD VACCINATIONS IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US WAS POSING A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT. FOR THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF 2016 PQC LAUNCHED A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN TO ENCOURAGE CHILDHOOD VACCINATIONS, COUNTER MICSONCEPTIONS ABOUT GETTING CHILDREN VACCINATED AND TO AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS. THE GOAL WAS TO TARGET COMMUNITIES WITH DECREASING RATES OF CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION AND SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO PARENTS THAT IT IS SAFE TO VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN AND UNSAFE NOT TO. AN AD WAS CREATED THAT VISUALIZED PREVENTABLE DISEASES TO PARENTS. IT RAN FOR FOUR MONTHS UNTIL THE END OF APRIL 2016 AND REACHED 1.2M FACEBOOK USERS. MOST STRIKINGLY, 70% OF THE INDIVIDUALS TO WHOM THE AD WAS TARGETTED ACTUALLY CLICKED ON AND VIEWED IT. * ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP: ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IS INCREASINGLY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS THREATS TO PUBLIC HEALTH. THE CDC ESTIMATES ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE CAUSES A MINIMUM OF TWO MILLION ILLNESSES AND 23,000 DEATHS EACH YEAR. IN 2016, PQC PARTNERED WITH THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND LAUNCHED AN ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP INITIATIVE. PQC HOSTED ITS FIRST WEBINAR IN AUGUST 2016 WITH 1,423 REGISTRANTS WITH VIEWERS FROM MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES. THE SECOND WEBINAR IN SEPTEMBER ADDRESSED SUCCESSFUL ACTIONS; THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF ANTIBIOTIC TIME OUT FOR WHICH THERE WERE 2,474 REGISTRANTS. THE PQC WEBSITE CONTINUES TO BE VISITED TO VIEW THESE WEBINARS. PQC HAS DIVIDED ITS WORK INTO 3 AREAS: o ANTIBIOTIC USE IN THE IN-PATIENT CARE SETTING, o ANTIBIOTIC USE IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING, AND o ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANING TO REMOVE RESISTANT ORGANISMS IN THE HEALTHCARE SETTING. INAPPROPRIATE PRESCRIBING OF ANTIBIOTICS CONTRIBUTES TO ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AND IS A THREAT TO PATIENT SAFETY. IN AN EFFORT TO ADDRSS INAPPROPRIATE PRESCRIBING OF ANTIBIOTICS IN THE INPATIENT SETTING, IN OCTOBER 2016 PQC IMPLEMENTED A LARGE-SCALE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIBIOTIC APPROPRIATENESS IN ICUS OF PQC AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THESE EFFORTS WILL INTENSIFY AND CONTINUE IN 2017. * AFFORDABILITY: IN 2016, PQC CONTINUED ITS FOCUS OF EXPLORING AFFORDABILITY OF HEALTH CARE. AFFORDABILITY IS A BROAD CONCEPT THAT CAN BE INTERPRETED IN MANY WAYS DEPENDING ON THE STAKEHOLDERS VANTAGE POINT. AS HEALTHCARE COSTS BECOME MORE TRANSPARENT MUCH OF THE NATIONAL CONVERSATION IS FOCUSING ON HEALTHCARE COSTS AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE GDP OR IN COMPARISON TO OTHER COUNTRIES. TO OTHERS, DISCUSSION OF AFFORDABILITY APPLIES TO HEALTHCARE COSTS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL CONSUMER. PQC RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF AFFORDABLE CARE FOR PROVIDERS AS WELL AS FOR THE WORKFORCE IN DELIVERING AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE. PQC IS CONFIDENT THAT PROVIDERS CAN AT THE SAME TIME IMPROVE BOTH AFFORDABILITY AND THE QUALITY OF CARE DELIVERED TO PATIENTS. PQCS WORK IS TO VIEW AFFORDABILITY THROUGH THE LENS OF QUALITY, LOOKING AT RESOURCE USE AND COST OF CARE. PQC IS WORKING TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHICH ASPECTS OF AFFORDABILITY ARE MOST CRITICAL TO ITS MEMBERS AND HOW THE LENS OF AFFORDABILITY WILL ENHANCE THE WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION. PQC HOSTED A SECOND FORUM IN WASHINGTON, DC TO EXPLORE MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS TO ENSURE THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED SPECIALTY DRUGS CAN AFFORD THEM. THE FORUM HELD IN OCTOBER 2016 ADDESSED THE RISING COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IN THE UNITED STATES, HOW IT IS AFFECTING AMERICANS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION INCLUDED THE 2016 DRUG PIPELINE, VALUE-BASED PRICING, STATE TRANSPARENCY LEGISLATION AND A DISCUSSION OF OPTIONS REGARDING THE PATH FORWARD. * FROM A COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE, MEMBERS OF PQC LEVERAGE THEIR POSITIONS AS EMPLOYERS AND PROVIDERS TO ENCOURAGE AND ASSIST THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE TO JOIN TOGETHER TO BECOME A MODEL OF PERSONAL HEALTH FOR THE NATION. PQC CONTINUES TO SEEK SUCCESSFUL WORKFORCE PROGRAMS THAT IMPROVE HEALTH AND MAKE OUR INSTITUTIONS EXAMPLES OF SUCCESS FOR THE PATIENTS WE SERVE, AS WELL AS MODELS OF PERSONAL SUCCESS FOR THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE LIVE. * IN 2016 PQC BEGAN DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUE OF MAKING THE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE. PQC RECOGNIZES THAT HOSPITALS ARE THE MOST ENERGY HEAVY USERS IN COMMERCIAL SETTINGS AND THAT ACCORDING TO A MAJOR NATIONAL SURVEY, LARGE HOSPITAL SYSTEMS CONSUME MORE THAN 5% OF THE ENERGY USED BY ALL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. THE IMPORTANCE OF REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY WAS A CONVERSATION INITIATED IN 2016. BY WORKING TOGETHER, LABOR AND MANAGEMENT CAN BEGIN TO CHANGE THE WAY THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM USES RESOURCES AND ENSURE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. PQC OUTLINED A SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING COGENERATION, COMBINED HEAT AND POWER, CONTINUOUS COMMISSIONING, WATER EFFICIENCY, FINANCING OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AND OF EXTREME IMPORTANCE RETRAINING CURRICULA FOR OUR WORKFORCE. PQC RECOGNIZES THAT AS HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AND FRONTLINE WORKER, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE PREVENTIVE HEALTH AND WELLNESS IF THE COMMUNITY ITSELF IS NOT A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT. PQC ENDORSED THE SEIU RESOLUTION TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FOR WORKING PEOPLE AND CONTINUES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS PART OF ITS ONGOING WORK. THE PARTNERSHIP FOR QUALITY CARE AIMS TO SET OFF A NATIONWIDE SHIFT IN HOW WE THINK NOT ONLY ABOUT HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA, BUT ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HEALTHY. ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, PREVENTIVE TESTING, AND MORE ADVANCED MEDICAL CARE ARE ALL VITAL PARTS OF HEALTHY LIVING, BUT THEY ARE NOT ENOUGH. DAILY ACTIVITY, RESPONSIBLE FOOD CHOICES, AND OTHER PERSONAL INTERVENTIONS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AND KEEP US FROM NEEDING MAJOR INTERACTIONS WITH THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. HEALTH IS A CHOICE WE MUST MAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIVES, AND THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PARTNERSHIP FOR QUALITY CARE ARE INTENDED AS A NATIONAL EFFORT TO SPREAD THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE. |
