National CAH Quality Inventory and Assessment for Iowa Flex Hospitals

The Iowa Flex Program is excited to be rolling out the National CAH Quality Inventory Assessment along with the other 44 participating Flex states.  The Assessment will allow everyone to learn more about CAH service lines offered, quality improvement (QI) infrastructure and activities, and related quality measures. The Assessment, which is the first of its kind at a national level, will be an opportunity to gather a wealth of information that will help national partners, our state’s Flex Program in an effort to improve how we support safe and high-quality care in CAHs.
