Performance of several processes of care was measured in eight acute care hospitals in Connecticut which provided inpatient treatment to 713 elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). BASELINE DATA ABSTRACTION AND FEEDBACK: Chart review feedback was provided, and the hospitals were requested to design their own quality improvement (QI) interventions, after which reexamination of process of care performance was conducted. HOSPITAL QI INTERVENTIONS: Six of the eight hospitals had submitted QI plans. The quality indicators dealing with timeliness of antibiotic delivery were specifically addressed by five hospitals. However, each hospital also picked one or two other processes of care for intervention.
