The Covid-19 epidemic response has shown that the U.S. is blessed with heroic physicians and other health care providers, researchers, and facilities. But it has also revealed a health care system that was woefully unprepared for the surge of pandemic patients. In the authors’ analysis, the primary blame rests on a hospital and insurance financial model geared towards providing high priced services rather than meeting all demands for care, including pandemics. Then they outline a plan for creating a hospital sector that can better respond to the population’s health needs during a time of crisis.

An analysis of six years of data from more than 80 hospitals and more than 192,000 employees in Victoria, Australia, adds to the evidence that employee engagement in their jobs matters. It found that happier workers improved hospital performance in terms of hospital costs, treatment effectiveness, and hospital-acquired infections and conditions. In particular, the research identifies three key ways to boost engagement: prioritizing patient and staff safety, building a culture of accountability, and providing proof that new practices will be worthwhile.

It is possible for hospitals to consistently provide patients with a positive experience. Research by Press Ganey found that while common themes run through the experiences of happy patients, variation characterizes the experiences of unhappy patients. These findings demonstrate that preventing negative experiences requires the same kind of vigilance needed to prevent the vast range of potential safety problems.

The use of digital technologies in clinical decision-making has received the most attention. But they also have the potential to help hospitals make better decisions in many areas of operations. Research and hospitals’ experiences show that they can make a big difference in such areas as the management of the patient flow, staffing, scheduling, and the supply chain. The result can be improvements in the quality and efficiency of care and patients’ access to it.

Huge numbers of patients are harmed in U.S. hospital by safety errors. Their numbers could be greatly reduced by taking four actions: Make patient safety a top priority in hospitals’ practices and cultures, establish a National Patient Safety Board, create a national patient and staff reporting mechanism, and turn on EHRs machine learning systems that can alert staff to risky conditions.
