Safe Patient Care

By Nancy L. Bassett, RN

Quality of care should be every organization's 1st priority

It takes the work of all job descriptions, with good education, planning, teamwork, interaction, and mutual respect to put the focus on the safety of the patient at all times.

First, do no harm. Preventing infection, patient falls, medication errors, skin breakdown, surgical error and complications; these are the areas of focus for staff at PPH. I support and endorse work by our Quality Management team to ensure continuous high quality of care at PPH by engaging in policy development and enforcement at all times.

Working towards Nursing Excellence with Organizational Magnet Status and national recognition is supported by myself and the entire PPH Board of Directors.
