Patient safety improvement efforts involve financial expenditures, which means that hospital leaders must evaluate their return on investment. This study examines the association of several quality-of-care measures and hospital profitability as measured by patient revenue per adjusted discharge. Better patient satisfaction, lower readmission rates, and three of the four Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (HVBP) domains were associated with improved financial outcomes.
