  "abstract": "Background Hospitals continue to face mounting financial pressures, including escalating operational costs and declining reimbursement rates.Objectives Recognizing the positive financial impact of high-quality care, patient safety, and exceptional patient experience is critical to sustaining hospital performance in this challenging environment.Methods To drive meaningful improvement despite limited resources, Riverside employed a focused, intentional, data-driven, and evidence-based approach. High-impact strategies were collaboratively implemented across multiple disciplines and departments. This system-wide methodology emphasized the interdependence of structure, people, processes, and technology to achieve integrated and sustainable outcomes.Results Riverside has demonstrated sustained improvement across ten key performance indicators in acute care over several years ( figure 1). These advancements have led to enhanced patient outcomes and improved performance in both pay-for-reporting and pay-for-performance programs administered by government and commercial payers (figure 2).Conclusions Strengthening quality outcomes and optimizing the capture of value-based reimbursement have a direct and substantial impact on hospital revenue. These efforts are essential in helping hospitals navigate and counteract ongoing financial headwinds.Abstract 45 Figure 1Key performance indicators (KPIs) for acute careAbstract 45 Figure 2Results of acute care KPIs",
