Minority Health SVI
US Department of Health and Human Services offices of Minority Health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health developed the Minority Health Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to enhance existing resources to support the identification of racial and ethnic minority communities at greatest risk for disproportionate impact and adverse outcomes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is redistributed by IPRO HQIC, a Hospital Quality Improvement Contractor, under contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide combines the five principles of high reliability organizations (HROs) with elements of safety culture. The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide was created to provide resources for healthcare organizations, with an emphasis on safety culture, regardless of where they are in their high reliability journey. This guide is not a step-by-step
process, but rather a guide that helps facilities after completing an initial assessment.
Hospital Roadmap for Person and Family Engagement (PFE):Achieving the Five PFE Best Practices to Improve Patient Safety and Health Equity
This material was prepared by American Institutes for Research (AIR). It is redistributed by IPRO HQIC, a Hospital Quality Improvement Contractor, under contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Implementing Antimicrobial Stewardship and C.difficile Prevention Toolkit
The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania
Quality Initiatives Department Health Care Associated
Infection Prevention Managers.
Antibiotics represent the greatest risk factor for the development of CDI. While appropriate for treatment of many infectious diseases, antibiotics are often overused and misused. Antibiotics disturb normal bowel flora and place the patient at risk of acquiring Clostridioides difficile colonization and/or infection. Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASP) have been shown to be an integral part of a CDI reduction program.
The purpose of this toolkit is help facilities incorporate evidence-based research into their practices and measure their effectiveness. Process and outcome measures will be collected and trended.
