Concord Hospital Health System Receives Excellence in Patient Safety & Quality Improvement Award
Concord Hospital Health System (CHHS) has been honored with the Excellence in Patient Safety & Quality Improvement Award at the New Hampshire Hospital Association and Foundation for Healthy Communities Annual Meeting.
This award recognizes healthcare teams that demonstrate a commitment to quality care, lead quality improvement initiatives, promote transparency to improve health care, and achieve better outcomes through a strong culture of safety. CHHS earned this distinction through its Patients First initiative, a strategic priority focused on providing exceptional care across six domains of healthcare quality: safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable, and patient-centered.
This recognition from the Foundation for Healthy Communities reflects our team’s steadfast commitment to putting patients first in every aspect of care,” said Robert P. Steigmeyer, President and CEO. “Our dedication to safety, quality, and transparency has made a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of our patients. We strive to set new standards in delivering care that is safe, equitable, efficient, and patient-centered, fulfilling our promise of clinical and service excellence.”
An eight-member multidisciplinary team led efforts across the health system to enhance patient safety outcomes, reduce health disparities, and improve transparency for care teams, patients, families, and community stakeholders.
