Quality Number One Strategy

The OMHS Board of Directors selected quality care as our primary focus, establishing a Board Quality and Safety Committee that includes both board members and physicians. This group provides leadership in setting priorities, monitoring progress and guiding the hospital in achieving quality goals. Team members also serve on other leading patient safety and quality teams within the hospital, enabling us to spread the initiatives to all hospital departments and involve our entire staff.

Keeping A Focus On Healthcare Quality

In 2004, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., launched the 100,000 Lives Campaign, a broad national effort to achieve urgent improvement in hospital safety. 

The effort led U.S. hospitals to implement proven changes to reduce hospital deaths. As one of the first members of the Institute, OMHS became actively involved in the campaign.
