HAP is partnering with DataGen to provide an in-depth webinar on the latest developments, methodologies, and strategies for Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program, the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (RRP), and the Hospital-Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program.

Hospitals are increasingly turning to data dashboards to uncover and address disparities in maternal health outcomes. This webinar will focus on how healthcare teams can design, build, and implement meaningful dashboards that go beyond data collection to actively drive improvement. Participants will learn how to stratify key maternal health indicators by race, ethnicity, payer, and language, and how to use those insights to inform equitable care strategies.

Emergency departments nationwide continue to struggle with the psychiatric boarding crisis, where behavioral health patients experience prolonged waits—often hours or days—resulting in overcrowding, increased staff burnout, and delays in care for all patients. Psychiatric patients typically face boarding times three to four times longer than medical patients, further compounding system strain.

Hospitals and health systems across Pennsylvania are leading important efforts to improve maternal health outcomes, reduce disparities, and ensure safer care for patients and families.

HAP’s 2025 Patient Safety, Quality, and Equity Symposium offers a dynamic platform for health care leaders, clinicians, and quality improvement professionals to come together in pursuit of safer, more equitable, and higher-quality care across the commonwealth.

Southeast Connect is where health care leaders from across Southeastern Pennsylvania come together to exchange ideas, build connections, and celebrate progress.
