Mesa View Regional Hospital was recently honored with the 2009 HealthInsight Quality Award for demonstrating high quality health care and excellence in performance on publicly reported quality of care measures. The public is invite to the award presentation and a celebration on October 21 2010.
The HealthInsight Quality Award acknowledges hospitals that achieve excellence in performance on the care related to a number of publicly reported quality measures.
The topics measured for the awards have been designated as national healthcare priorities by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
“HealthInsight commends Mesa View Regional Hospital for its commitment to excellence in improving patient care,” said Marc Bennett, President and CEO of HealthInsight.
The HealthInsight Quality Award program was launched in September 2004 to promote transparency in health care. According to the Institute of Medicine, transparency in health care means a system that is “accountable to the public, works openly, makes results known, and builds trust through disclosure.”
By using available quality data to identify high performing providers and publicizing the results, HealthInsight aims to help providers improve health care and help patients become more active and informed participants in that care.
“The staff at Mesa View Regional Hospital is dedicated to providing the very best in patient care and our efforts have been enhanced through our quality improvement collaborations with HealthInsight,” said Kapua Conley, Mesa View CEO. “We are proud to be a recipient of this distinguished award.”
