Penrose-St. Francis Health Services (PSF) is pleased to participate in this effort to bring meaningful quality information to the public. Because this is a new initiative, data collection and submission, in the very specific definition and format required, is in the development phase. PSF is committed to: · Improving quality and ensuring patient safety as a top priority. · Facilitating consumer access to meaningful quality and safety information (one reason we’re pleased to be a part of the JCAHO Quality Report.) · Quality measurement and reporting to help raise awareness of the many quality improvement efforts at community hospitals—and push hospital to be better. · Many quality initiatives underway and numerous safety processes currently in place. Our Clinical Effectiveness Council, led by medical professionals, develops targeted interventions to improve performance on quality, service and patient safety. Specifically relating to the data contained in our Community Acquired Pneumonia, PSF has made several practice changes, including but not limited to: · Smoking cessation recommendations have been added to our discharge instructions for all diseases; · We have instituted a pilot project surrounding screening for and administering pneumococcal vaccination on two units, which went “house-wide” on July 1, 2004; · All cases where antibiotics are not started in the Emergency Department are reviewed and lessons learned disseminated to appropriate care providers. Penrose-St. Francis Health Services has recently been acknowledged with the following citations: The Solucient 100 Top Hospitals© National Benchmarks for Success Award The JD Power & Associates Trophy for Providing “An Outstanding Patient Experience” The 2004 HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence
