    Huntsville Hospital strives for perfection as well, unfortunately “never events” have occurred within the walls of the hospital. The National Quality Forum literally defines a “never event” as a preventable adverse event occurring in a health care setting that should never happen; like, wrong site surgery, patient falls, and medication errors as examples (Gitlow et al., 2013) A patient admitted to the hospital to receive right wrist surgery woke up with surgery to the left wrist. The event was researched, evaluated, reported, and resulted in changes within the institution. A malpractice case filed against the surgeon and the hospital existed and was settled. The adoption of the mandates of JCAHO allowed for implementation within Huntsville hospital to prevent wrong site surgery consists of many valuable steps such as; asking the patient what surgery and where, marking the surgical site with a permanent marker or using the alternative site marking form to identify, limb alert bands, and also the time-out, allowing anyone involved in the patient care to stop the procedure to ensure accuracy. The responsibility to improve quality patient care is assigned to each individual employee that works for a facility and will proceed in continuing to develop even higher quality, on top of the existing quality, CQI (Hashmi…

    According to Kennedy, Bakir & Brauer (2012) measuring heath systems quality is rapidly becoming a priority for the government, the public in addition to the private sector. Surgical complications continue be on the rise in both adult and pediatric populations and health system improvements within our government have become a priority to ensure a safer environment for our patients. Surgical complications are said to cost the public billions of dollars; in 2004 alone it was noted to have cost Canadians 19.8 billion dollars for both intentional and unintentional surgical injuries (2012). Quality Indicators have mandated the evolution of surgical performances over the past decade, adult surgical procedures have been the main focus, however; the shift has been moving towards pediatric surgical procedures in more recent years (2012). “Quality Indicators refer to clear, measurable items related to outcomes” (2012). The Quality Indicators established and supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality are one response towards the need for multidimensional, accessible quality measures that can…
