Hospital Safety

Hospital safety is at the core of high-quality, patient-centered care. Preventable harm affects thousands of Californians each year and contributes to unnecessary costs across the system. Through collaboration with health plans and hospitals, CQC leads data-driven initiatives that target the most impactful opportunities for improvement—aligning efforts around infection prevention, sepsis care, maternal safety, readmissions and overall safety culture.

By working directly with hospital leaders and plan partners, CQC helps align goals, share proven practices and strengthen accountability for measurable, sustained improvement.
