Measuring Quality of Care and Outcomes for Liver Transplant Patients
As part of its commitment to quality patient care, Cedars-Sinai monitors and reports the one-month, one-year and three-year survival data for patients who have had liver transplants. These data include both information about observed survival of patients at Cedars-Sinai and how that compares with what is expected, based on national experience, for similar patients.
Other measures of the quality of care given to patients at Cedars-Sinai are measures on a hospital-wide basis. These include:
- Nursing excellence
- Preventing hospital-acquired infections
- Surgical care, including infection prevention and blood clot prevention
- Consumer perceptions of Cedars-Sinai
- Patient satisfaction
