About Loyola Quality

Loyola has long been committed to the quality of care and safety of its patients. We also believe in sharing quality information with the public and in participating in national quality improvement programs such as the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital Quality Alliance, the National Quality Forum, which is leading the development of a national quality measurement reporting system, and the University HealthSystem Consortium, an organization of major academic medical centers working to improve many aspects of health care.

Loyola prioritizes and coordinates performance improvement activities across the entire institution through its Center for Clinical Effectiveness (CCE). The CCE implements state-of-the-art quality and safety improvement tools, and communicates results of performance improvement work both within Loyola and to consumer, health-care and academic audiences. Loyola dedicates $1 million of its annual budget to fund the work of the CCE.
