DONALD D. WOLFF JR. CENTER FOR QUALITY, SAFETY, AND INNOVATION AT UPMC Ensuring the right patient gets the right care, at the right time, in the right way…every time Annual Report | Fiscal Year 2013 Dear UPMC patients, families, and colleagues: Amid the ever-present national and local health care transformation and its accompanying challenges, the Donald D. Wolff Jr. Center for Quality, Safety, and Innovation at UPMC remains focused and dedicated to achieving high-quality, reliable patient care. For more than seven years, the center has collaborated with system leadership and local sites to provide education, propel innovation, and foster dissemination of evidence-based practices that save lives, reduce harm, and lower costs. Guiding our efforts is a data-driven analytic strategy that enables us to detect meaningful differences, which, in turn, allow providers, patients, and families to make more objective health care decisions with greater confidence. Shepherding that quantitative strategy is a principle of caring, one that spans our patients, our members, their loved ones, and each other. This second annual report builds on our previous work and details projects and outcomes in Fiscal Year 2013. As you read further, you will discover the wide range of our nearly 90 initiatives, a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality of care and patient safety at UPMC. Thank you to all who diligently contribute to the work of the center and the entire system to place UPMC health care among the best in the country. We do this for our patients who trust and rely on us every day. Sincerely, Tamra E.
