 The IHS draft Quality Framework focuses on federally operated facilities to align with the following quality priorities: 1) Strengthen organizational capacity to improve quality of care and systems; 2) Meet and maintain accreditation for IHS direct service facilities; 3) Align service delivery processes to improve patient experience; 4) Ensure patient safety; and 5) Improve processes and strengthen communications for early identification of risks.
