YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Onvida Health hosted their annual Quality Hall of Fame judging event Tuesday. The event celebrates the continuous efforts of employees and providers to improve service, operations, care delivery, and cost efficiency.
89 projects hospital-wide were submitted focusing on quality improvement and patient care. Teams have three minutes to present their projects and findings to community judges. One of the presenters shares how it allows cross collaboration from different departments and services.
“Anyone within the organization can stand up and say, ‘Let’s make this better for our community,’ and that’s really what these are. All these posters around us are all the projects that have been done throughout the health system from all different avenues of the teams, really showing how we’re making things better here at Onvida for our community and for our patients,” said Hall of Fame presenter Matt Southmayd.
The hospital says the event is an example of how they strive to provide the best for patients.
“That’s the opportunity then to always be looking at how we can be better. Never satisfied with status quo- always looking for more,” said Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing & Communications Officer Machele Headington.
The hospital will announce the winners of the various categories on November 5 during Innovation Week.
