As the most common preventable injury, Falls in the acute care setting are a significant concern for hospitals nationwide. These incidents can lead to injuries, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. In 2024, Cass Health implemented a patient fall debrief program. Whenever a patient falls, a debrief is held with key stakeholders to discuss what happened and look for process improvement opportunities.

As part of the FY2025 final rule, CMS is requiring hospitals participating in the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR)program to report on the Patient Safety Structural Measure (PSSM). Structural measures provide a way for hospitals to address a topic for which no outcome measure exists. The PSSM is an attestation-based measure that assesses whether hospitals have a structure and culture that prioritizes safety as demonstrated by five domains. Hospitals will attest to whether they engage in specific evidence-based best practices in each domain.
