IMPROVE quality and value of healthcare in Alabama
Hospital Safety
AEHC invites all hospitals in the State to participate in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey. Hospitals demonstrate their commitment to safety and transparency through voluntary participation. It tests computerized physician order entry (CPOE) for drugs and the effectiveness of that system in alerting prescribers to ordering errors. It is also an important source of maternity data which not reported elsewhere. Go to our Hospital Safety Page here.
Price Transparency
AEHC promotes price transparency as a starting point to create a functional healthcare market. Members have contributed data to the Employer Hospital Price Transparency Project which created tools to compare hospital cost, price, and quality for facilities in 49 states.
