QSVI: Quality, Safety and Value Initiative

Mission

The mission of the POSNA Quality, Safety, and Value Initiative is:
  1. To lead POSNA members to value-based clinical care.
  2. To partner with hospital-based and AAOS efforts to provide safe, high quality outcomes for our patients.
  3. To communicate our initiatives and results cooperatively with payor, credentialing, and compliance organizations in efforts to improve pediatric orthopaedic care in North America.

Goals

POSNA QSVI will enhance value-based healthcare delivery in pediatric orthopaedics by leading research and equipping members with tools for their practices with the singular focus of producing higher quality, safer care at a better value for our patients and families.
  • To develop clinical tools that members can use to improve quality and safety at their institutions
  • To conduct multicenter research trials focused on determining complication rates, the efficacy of safety interventions, and other QSVI questions
  • To educate members on best practices and new developments in the realms of quality, safety, and value.
