We thank all staff for striving to ensure high quality care on their units and throughout the organization. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) defines quality health care as, “the degree to which health care services for individuals and population increased the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge (Agency for Healthcare Research, 2016).” That’s basically a lot of words to say "we’re using the latest medical knowledge to make sure we get the best possible healing for patients."To celebrate during this week, the Quality Management departments at Community Regional Medical Center, Clovis Community Medical Center and Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital are hosting a week full of events for our staff and patients. If you’re in the hospital visiting, be sure to stop by our cafeteria and take a look.

- Tuesday, October 18, 2016 – Communicate to your patients that Community Medical is honoring the healthcare professionals who continually promote patient safety and quality care. Look for stickers on patient food trays and tent cards in the cafeteria.
