Hospital recognized for quality by national group
Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital in Frankfort recently received national recognition for excellence in health care quality for the second year in a row.
The Chartis Center for Rural Health/iVantage Health Analytics and the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health recognized the hospital along with 14 others in the state with its “Performance Leadership Award” for 2017. Rankings are determined through a data-driven program designed to identify excellence across a broad spectrum of indicators relevant to hospital performance and patient care using public data sources.
“We’re proud to be recognized as one of 15 top performing rural hospitals across the state,” said Peter Marinoff, president of Paul Oliver Memorial Hospital. “At Paul Oliver we focus on bringing quality care close to home and this award is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to this mission.”
Paul Oliver’s Emergency Department is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week with highly trained, experienced ER providers and nurses. Advanced Trauma Life Support education and close connections with Munson Medical Center specialists helps Paul Oliver to provide high quality care to the community. The department typically sees over 5,000 patients each year.
“High quality, safe care doesn’t happen by accident,” Marinoff said. “I’m thankful for our staff and providers who are deeply committed to making these values a part of our everyday culture.”
