OSF Saint Paul honored for excellence in quality care

 
MENDOTA – The Illinois Critical Care Access Hospital Network recently recognized OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center in Mendota for its ongoing commitment to care during a ceremony as part of ICAHN’s annual conference. As part of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Program, OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center and other critical access hospitals were asked to voluntarily participate in four defined domains of quality outcomes. These four domains include: Patient Safety/Inpatient; Patient Engagement; Care Transitions; and Outpatient Measures.
“Often, in rural hospitals, having a devoted staff member to abstract and submit this data can be both time-consuming and burdensome,” said Laura Fischer, ICAHN Flex Grant Project Manager.
OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center was recognized for being in the top 10% of all critical access hospitals in the country for outpatient and care transitions quality measures.
“We are very proud of our team for achieving this level of excellence in health quality,” said Dawn Trompeter, president of OSF HealthCare Saint Paul Medical Center. “This is truly a team effort that recognizes our dedication to delivering a healthcare experience of which our patients and staff can be proud.”
