About Quality
The mission of California hospitals is to deliver safe, quality care that is accessible to all. Hospitals participate in many activities to improve the quality and safety of the care they provide. California hospitals have a trusted partner in the Hospital Quality Institute, which helps them reduce errors and maximize patient safety. One of the ways in which HQI does this is by being a source of performance data and analytics. The data help focus improvement opportunities and scale best practices.
HQI Can Help with Mandatory AB 1204 Reporting
This year, California hospitals are required to submit detailed health equity reports under Assembly Bill 1204 (2021) — a process that is daunting and tedious, with dozens of measures and hundreds of required fields. The Hospital Quality Institute (HQI) can help by providing a ready-to-upload report — due to the California Department of Health Care Access and Information by Sept. 30 — that’s greater than 95% complete (hospitals just need to fill in their equity plan). Visit HQI’s website to learn more.
