This site contains data on how South Carolina hospitals are performing in key areas of patient safety, quality and service, data that is voluntarily collected and provided by hospitals to demonstrate progress made toward achieving, and in some cases, exceeding national patient safety goals using evidence-based measures.
- SC Heart Care Alliance - a statewide, collaborative framework to enhance quality and safety of hospital-based cardiac care.
- Accelerating Improvement Network (AIN): Eliminating MRSA - Wave 2
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) have become a focal point in the health care industry's efforts to improve clinical outcomes. HAIs are a major target in such industry-wide efforts as the 5 Million Lives Campaign and the Surgical Care Improvement program. These programs focus on preventing or eliminating ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), Central line infections, and surgical site infections. Twenty-three SC facilities are participating in VHA's MRSA collaborative. This national effort brings together industry leading subject matter experts, data measurement tools, and a broad network of peer organizations to facilitate reduction of MRSA infections.
- Pressure Ulcer Task Force
Pressure Ulcer Task Force will promote statewide culture change through adopting and promoting evidence based practice for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
- SC Infection Prevention Network (SCIP-N) - SCIP-N is the action arm for communication and education for the HIDA Committee. This committee will guide and support future statewide partnerships/collaboration concerning HAI prevention in South Carolina to create a visible statewide network that sets clear expectations.
- Medication Safety Toolkit
The Medication Safety Toolkit contains tools to improve communication between the patient and all healthcare providers/practitioners about an individual’s prescribed medications, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements.
- 5 Million Lives Campaign
The 5 Million Lives Campaign is an initiative to engage U.S. hospitals in a commitment to implement changes in care proven to improve patient care and prevent avoidable deaths.

South Carolina’s hospitals care for people under the most disastrous conditions. SCHA continues to make sure that hospitals have the information and support they need to prepare and weather these natural disasters.
