Quality Benchmarking System to retire select measures

The Quality Benchmarking System was set up for hospitals to submit information for enhanced performance monitoring and ongoing quality improvements. Thank you for your continual support and feedback throughout 2022. We have seen continual improvement in these domains since the program inception, while new Quality initiatives are adopted every year. As of Dec. 31, 2022, the following measures will be retired, and data entry options will be removed. Hospitals could continue to view their prior submissions in QBS. Please reach out with any questions or concerns to support@qbs.wsha.org.
