MEEKER, Colo. — Pioneers Medical Center has earned the Leapfrog Full Transparency Badge, recognizing the hospital’s commitment to publicly reporting information about patient safety and quality through the annual Leapfrog Hospital Survey.
The Full Transparency Badge is awarded to hospitals that complete, affirm and submit all sections of the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, one of the nation’s leading voluntary reporting programs focused on patient safety, quality and transparency.
“Our patients and our community place an incredible amount of trust in Pioneers Medical Center, and we believe that trust should be earned through both the care we provide and our willingness to be transparent about how we perform,” said Steve Hannah, CEO of Pioneers Medical Center. “Earning the Leapfrog Full Transparency Badge reflects our team’s commitment to patient safety, continuous improvement and accountability. We are proud to openly share our performance and to use that information to keep raising the standard of care for the community we serve.”
Pioneers Medical Center is committed to building a culture in which quality and patient safety are shared responsibilities across the organization. From clinical care and infection prevention to staff education, performance improvement and operational practices, PMC continually evaluates how care is delivered and identifies opportunities to strengthen outcomes and the patient experience. Participation in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey is one way the organization holds itself accountable to nationally recognized measures while giving patients and families greater access to information about the care they receive.
“Transparency is an important part of a strong culture of quality and safety because it requires us to continually evaluate our performance and look for opportunities to improve,” said Rebecca Martin, Director of Quality & Risk at Pioneers Medical Center. “Participating fully in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey allows us to benchmark our practices against nationally recognized standards while giving our patients and families greater insight into the quality and safety of the care we provide.”
As a rural healthcare provider, PMC is also focused on ensuring that high-quality care remains accessible close to home. The organization continues to invest in its people, services and partnerships to meet the evolving healthcare needs of Meeker, the White River Valley and the surrounding region. Through efforts to strengthen local services, expand access to care and build a sustainable healthcare workforce, PMC remains focused on its mission of providing exceptional care today while helping ensure a strong future for healthcare in Northwest Colorado.
“We applaud Pioneers Medical Center for its commitment to transparency,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “Transparency is one of the most powerful drivers of improvement in health care. By fully participating in the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, Pioneers Medical Center is helping patients and families access meaningful information about the safety and quality of their care.”
