Washakie Medical Center (WMC) in Worland was awarded a 2019 Hospital Quality Excellence Award by Mountain-Pacific Quality Health during this years’ Wyoming Hospital Association Annual Meeting and Convention in Casper.
Quality awards are presented annually to Wyoming hospitals for their hard work and commitment to improving patient care. To earn the award, hospitals had to meet six categories of criteria including patient and family engagement activities, patient satisfaction and clinical care.
WMC is one of eight hospitals honored during this year’s Wyoming Quality Health Care Conference and has received the award for the past four years.
“Hearing from our patients and their families about their perceptions of care helps us to grow,” said Lisa Van Brunt, chief nursing officer at WMC. “To hear they are pleased with what we’re doing is rewarding.”
Deborah Fox, Washakie’s senior program manager for quality improvement, gathered data to submit for the award. Fox and Van Brunt accepted the award on behalf of WMC.
