Hopedale Medical Complex honored for excellence in quality of care, top performance.
The
Illinois Critical Access Hospital Network (ICAHN) recently recognized Hopedale
Medical Complex for its ongoing commitment to exceptional quality of care,
during a ceremony held November 14th at the I Hotel and Conference Center,
Champaign, IL.
As
part of the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy Medicare Beneficiary Quality
Improvement Program (MBQIP), Hopedale Medical Complex 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 Angie Charlet, ICAHN
Director of Quality, Educational Services, and Compliance. “Hopedale Hospital
realizes how important quality of care and an engaged staff is for its
patients…From its top leadership on throughout the facility, each strives for continued
quality on a daily basis, and that is what we are celebrating today.”
Hopedale
Medical Complex was recognized for demonstrating the most improvement over
quarters in any MBQIP measure or domain.
“We
are very proud of our team for achieving this level of excellence in health
quality,” said Mark Rossi, HMC COO. “This is truly a team effort that
recognizes our dedication to delivering a healthcare experience that our
patients and staff can be proud of. We thank ICAHN for all its help
during this process.”
