4. Partnership for Patients: Better Care, Lower Costs • Objectives: • Keep patients from getting injured or sicker.By the end of 2013, preventable hospital-acquired conditions would decrease by 40% compared to 2010.  Achieving this goal would mean approximately 1.8 million fewer injuries to patients with more than 60,000 lives saved over three years. • Help patients heal without complication.By the end of 2013, preventable complications during a transition from one care setting to another would be decreased so that all hospital readmissions would be reduced by 20% compared to 2010.  Achieving this goal would mean more than 1.6 million patients would recover from illness without suffering a preventable complication requiring re-hospitalization within 30 days of discharge.  U.S. Dept of Health & Human Services www.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health www.hhs.gov/ash/ohq/ Office of Healthcare Quality
