| Reid About QUALITY Understanding Hospital Quality
Reid Hospital & Health Care Services voluntarily gathers and reports data in accordance to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Hospitals participating in this initiative report data in several areas, including acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), congestive heart failure, pneumonia and surgical infection prevention. CMS has established criteria to help hospitals improve the quality of care provided to patients with these diagnoses.
The staff of Reid Hospital & Health Care Services critically reviews its performance in each of these areas on a regular basis and then works to establish action steps to continuously improve patient care.
