Clifton program recognized by American Hospital Association

The AHA'S "Hospitals in Pursuit of Excellence" program recently recognized four hospitals in New York State for efforts in Quality Improvement and Patient Safety; one large, one multi-entity, one small and one specialty hospital.  Clifton Springs Hospital & Clinic was the hospital selected for the Small Hospital category.  Congratulations to the staff and leadership in the Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine for this recognition.

Our Patient Safety and Quality efforts have repeatedly been recognized by the Healthcare Association of New York State. 

On June 24, 2010 we received our third  Pinnacle Award for Quality and Patient Safety Achievement.  One of over a hundred eligible programs, our Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine was selected to receive this honor at HANYS annual meeting in Lake George, NY.

This recognition is well-earned by the Wound Care team, including patients, family members, nurses, therapists, primary care physicians, surgeons and specialists. 

In the Wound Center, the wound healing rate has reached 98% while 'days to heal' decreased on average, from 42 to 28 days.  In 2009, patient satisfaction averaged an impressive 97%.

This marks the Hospital’s third Pinnacle Award in five years.  In 2006 we were recognized for our Culture of Safety and in 2008 for our Diabetes Patient Self Management Training program.
