HOSPITAL SAFETY
WHY WE DO
WHAT WE DO
Steps we take to help protect you
YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY are our highest priorities.
That’s why we strive to meet and maintain national goals
and standards for patient safety. Medina Healthcare
System uses Critical Access Hospital National Patient
Safety Goals to focus our efforts on a variety of important
issues. We take steps to:
● ● Communicate with your safety in mind. This includes
repeating and verifying orders concerning your care.
Your test results are communicated as soon as possible
to the appropriate doctor or care provider.
● ● Respond to alarms on medical equipment promptly.
● ● Conduct multiple checks throughout the surgery
process to prevent mistakes.
● ● Verify your identity. We double-check your name and
birth date to make sure you receive the appropriate care.
● ● Make sure medications are given correctly and safely.
● ● Prevent the spread of infections by emphasizing
handwashing and the use of hand sanitizers.
A HEALTHY PARTNERSHIP One of the best ways to stay
safe is by taking an active role in your healthcare. You can:
Communicate. Ask questions, and keep asking, until
you fully understand the answers. Talk to your doctor or
nurses to learn more about your condition and treatments.
Tell your doctor, pharmacist and other healthcare
providers about all the medications you take and any
allergies or reactions you have to medicines.
Take charge. Find out the results of any tests and
procedures you have. If you don’t get the results in a timely
manner, call your doctor. Discuss the results and what
they mean for your health and your care. Keep a current
list of all medications you take.
Working together will ensure that your healthcare is
of the highest quality and as safe as possible.
