Patient Safety

 

The well-being of our patients and customers comes first - always. Your safety is our priority, and our organization-wide Patient Safety Program is an important part of our commitment to clinical excellence. We are improving patient safety by embracing new technology, adopting nationally recognized best care practices, improving caregiver communication and creating a safety culture throughout our organization.

 

You can help too. The single most important way you can help to prevent errors is to be an active member of your healthcare team. That means taking part in every decision about your care. Research shows that patients who are more involved with their care tend to get better results.

 

These Web pages have been designed to provide updates about our approach to patient safety and to provide links to valuable resources for patients who want to take an active role in their healthcare. Together we can achieve a safe, effective and caring healthcare experience.
