Turning the Tide:
Hospital Readiness Assessment

Goal:

The goal of this self-assessment is to help the CPCQC team better understand the current policies, practices, and workflows in place at your hospital. The pillars and domains of the Turning the Tide: A Perinatal Substance Use Initiative is based on an Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM) Patient Safety Bundle. Each pillar and domain is listed below and includes an example task as reference. The results of this assessment will be used to help guide your annual goal setting and priority development.

1: This action item is not at all implemented on the unit.

Difficulty to Implement Stoplight Rating:

This rating indicates the potential barriers the unit could face in attempting to implement this specific action item in the unit culture. Green indicates easy implementation, and Red indicates difficult implementation. Please also include the “why” and context around the unit and how that will impact the action item.
