Memorial Health System has received the American Heart Association’s Commitment to Quality award for achieving high performance across three or more clinical areas in the Get With The Guidelines® program.
Hospitals earning this recognition demonstrate a comprehensive, system-wide approach to quality improvement. Through recognition in three or more Get With The Guidelines programs, these organizations commit to using real-time data registries, evidence-based clinical protocols and cross-disciplinary collaboration to raise the standard of care across multiple specialties.
“This recognition reflects our team’s dedication to treating the whole person, not just a single condition, said Brent Smith, CEO. “We remain focused on continuous improvement and delivering the highest quality care across every department.”
Get With The Guidelines is the American Heart Association’s hospital-based quality improvement initiative designed to help ensure people receive care aligned with the most current, science-based guidelines. Participating hospitals benefit from clinical tools, performance feedback and peer benchmarking to drive ongoing improvement and better patient outcomes.
