1 BETA Healthcare Group is focused on improving reliability and reducing risk exposure in emergency departments. BETA provides our member hospitals and medical groups the opportunity for significant reduction in ED premiums each year of this Patient Safety Initiative. As participants demonstrate compliance with all elements of tier1 which focuses on education, they may advance to the second tier providing additional opportunities to enhance patient safety while further reducing ED premiums! Menu Selection: The Quest for Zero: Excellence in ED has various process improvement/risk reduction strategies for you to explore. To qualify for the ED premium renewal credit, 100% of all ED physicians, PAs, NPs and nurses covered by BETA or HealthPro must complete the required annual on-line courses required for Tier 1 by the time of the verification assessment, which is conducted no later than 30 days prior to the policy renewal. Those desiring to advance to Tier 2 for extra credit must complete all required elements of Tier 1 prior to being eligible to receive the additional credit. The options found in Tier 2 allow you to set priorities based on trending and risk related issues specific to your own organization or medical group. Each strategy and associated metrics are described in detail below. Value of Participation: Tier 1 is valued at 5% of your ED premium. There is greater opportunity to gain additional credits by choosing up to two options per year in Tier 2, each worth an additional 2% if all criteria are met (The Sullivan Group Audit option holds a value of 4%). This represents a potential premium renewal credit of up to 9%! Get Started: Please review this Quest for Zero guideline carefully. BETA risk managers are available to provide guidance and/or further information to your staff. Let us know if you plan on participating! We can attend departmental and medical group meetings to ensure you have the information needed to achieve success in the coming year. BETA must complete evaluations of compliance no later than 30 days prior to your policy renewal; so be sure to schedule your verification audit 60 days in advance! We value your enthusiasm and continued interest in BETA Healthcare Group s Quest for Zero preventable errors, as we strive for excellence in emergency care.
