Quality & Patient Safety
Patient safety continues to be a major focus for HCA and our TriStar Health System facilities and we have made very significant investments in and progress toward reducing errors in hospital care.
In addition to our existing initiatives, efforts are now underway in preventing hospital associated infections, preventing blood clots in patient's legs (a serious complication after surgery), enhancing timeliness in emergency care, and assuring competence through training programs for staff and credentialing processes for physicians.
It is our hope that our proactive efforts will improve the standard of care in the communities we serve and raise the bar on patient safety for the nation.
Practicing quality and safety is embedded in the culture at HCA. Putting our patients first -it is a way of life for our employees.
