Alleghany Regional Hospital to Host Gathering of Health Care Leaders to Share Quality Improvements

October 31, 2007, Low Moor, VA – Alleghany Regional Hospital will be hosting regional healthcare leaders and representatives from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to discuss progress made with a number of significant health care improvements. ARH was chosen as one of many sites to visit in a nationwide tour of all 50 states and the District of Columbia from October 25th through November 7th. The “Fall Harvest” tour is an opportunity to learn about and gather notable results from hospitals taking part in the 5 Million Lives Campaign, which asks hospitals across the country to implement up to twelve health care interventions in order to protect patients from five million incidents of medical harm. Alleghany Regional Hospital will highlight their progress on six different processes including: the implementation of rapid response teams for non-ICU patients who become acutely ill; acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) care; bundling of precautionary steps to prevent pneumonia for ventilator patients; bundling precautionary steps to prevent central line infections; preventing surgical site infections; and reconciling medication lists especially for patients transitioned to another area. “This visit from the Institute is a great honor for our facility,” explains Robin Broughman, Chief Nursing Officer for the hospital. “Being chosen for this site visit reinforces our progress and recognizes our high quality scores.” The IHI will be onsite at the hospital on Friday, November 2nd. For more information on ARH’s quality scores, contact our quality manager at 540.862.6367.
