Quality and Outcomes
When your child needs medical care, you want the best
Our leadership, physicians and staff have established goals to meet and exceed the standards set by industry leaders, using the best hospitals in the nation as our benchmarks.
We follow standards of care and expectations established by national
organizations that support quality improvement, including: Children’s Hospitals
Solutions for Patient Safety, Vermont Oxford Network, Children’s Hospital Association,
The Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the
Agency for Health Care Research
in Quality (AHRQ), the National Quality Forum, and The Leapfrog Group.
These organizations provide measurement tools that help us continually evaluate
and ensure the highest quality of care in our hospital. Families can also use
this information to make informed decisions about their child’s health care
needs.
