Embracing the Quadruple Aim: One hospital’s experience
Mike Lapaine
Abstract
Healthcare institutions have for some time pursued the Triple Aim: improve patient health outcomes, improve patient experience, and reduce costs. More recently, it has been recognized that the "missing piece" of success is to improve the experience of their clinicians in order to improve the three aims. The leadership of Bluewater Health has been using the Quadruple Aim since 2016 and, by working to improve employee engagement, has succeeded in also delivering exemplary care that has improved patient outcomes and experience and reduced costs.
