3 V. Recommendations, Discussion / Information Item A. Strategic planning discussion: Quality Measures (continued) Minutes of the Meeting of the Quality and Patient Safety Committee Friday, January 18, 2019 Page 3 During the review of the measures and data, Board Chair Hammock recommended that the column in the data charts that show the comparison to national mean should instead reflect whether Stroger Hospital s results are better or otherwise than the national mean, rather than above or below. Following the discussion, Board Chair Hammock observed that this is a great programmatic approach; however, he did not hear a lot about financial impact. He thinks the organization has to be realistic in the following two (2) ways: 1) each initiative needs to have a candid cost benefit review; and 2) in cooperation with the Chief Financial Officer, the administration should determine a sum of money that could be used to fund key initiatives, and get that on the budget prospect for the year. VI. Closed Meeting Items A. Medical Staff Appointments/Re-appointments/Changes B. Claims, Litigation and Quality and Patient Safety Matters C. Matters protected under the federal Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act of 2005 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 The Committee did not recess into a closed meeting.

11 SIR (Standardized Infection Ratio) is a summary measure which compares the actual number of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) in a facility with the baseline data for standard population. SIR > 1.0 indicates more HAIs were observed than predicted, conversely SIR of < 1.0 indicates that fewer HAIs were observed than predicted. Page 11 of 54 7
