Harrison
Medical Center earned an award last week recognizing its
success in improving patient safety.
The Washington State Hospital Association honored Harrison with a 2016 Achieving Best Care Award for attaining high scores in reducing patient harm, according to a news release from CHI Franciscan Health.
The award recognizes sustained improvements in five categories: infection, falls, early elective deliveries, sepsis and pressure ulcers.
“The safety of our patients is paramount to providing high quality medical care and ensuring our patients get back to their daily lives as quickly as possible,” CHI Franciscan Peninsula region President David Schultz said in the release.
“This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our providers, nurses and staff in making patient safety our top priority.”
