CIVISTA ACHIEVES TOP TEN RANKING IN STATE QUALITY SCORE

The Maryland Joint Commission Quality Report ranks Civista 6th in the State:  Measuring and reporting quality healthcare is a complex issue that has been debated across the medical industry nationwide. One method of reporting data is primarily designed to evaluate the cost of patient care. This was the case for the report quoted in the article (“Report calls Civista below average”, Maryland Independent, March 4). Core Measures were developed by doctors, nurses and experts in patient safety and quality to measure healthcare quality. Research shows that care that is driven and measured by this evidenced-based medicine results in the best outcomes for patients. The Joint Commission is an independent organization that accredits and certifies more than 18,000 health care organizations in the U.S. and is recognized as a symbol for quality performance standards. Along with other nationally recognized organizations including the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Joint Commission measures quality in hospitals across the country based on these recognized indicators called Core Measures. The measures are based upon factors which have been shown to make a difference in how patients do, when they come into a hospital with serious and common conditions like pneumonia, heart failure, heart attack and childhood asthma, or when they undergo surgery.
