Preventive Care

The goal of the Preventive Care Core Measures is to use clinical information to recognize patients who should receive reminders or treatments for preventive care and send these patients the reminders, per patient preference.

The chart below shows Parkland's particular preventive action of administering the influenza vaccine for both patients and staff.

The descriptions of these core measures have been modified from what is available on Hospital Compare for better understanding.
