Patient Safety & Quality Care

While we have made very significant investments in and progress toward reducing errors in hospital care, patient safety continues to be a major focus for HCA and our TriStar Health System facilities.

In addition to our existing initiatives, efforts are now underway in preventing hospital associated infections, preventing blood clots in patient's legs (a serious complication after surgery), enhancing timeliness in emergency care, and assuring competence through training programs for staff and credentialing processes for physicians.

It is our hope that our proactive efforts will improve the standard of care in the communities we serve and raise the bar on patient safety for the nation.
