Quality Improvement

At Texas IPS, we believe the quality of care is measurable—but more importantly, improvable. Our Quality Improvement program systematically reviews our clinical processes, patient outcomes, and safety measures to ensure we deliver the highest possible standard of pulmonary and critical care.

Up to 60% of adverse events in healthcare are preventable through process improvement and adherence to evidence-based protocols.

Our QI efforts extend across all stages of care, using data to guide decisions and implementing targeted interventions that enhance patient safety, reduce complications, and improve overall satisfaction. We benchmark our performance against national standards, including those from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM).

In 2023, Texas Health Resources achieved a 58% reduction in central line-associated bloodstream infections rates since 2021, placing them in the top quartile nationally.

By making quality a core value, not just a metric, Texas IPS ensures every patient receives care that’s safer, more effective, and consistently improving.
