About Clinton Memorial Hospital
On October 1, 2006, CMH implemented phase one of a three-year, $18 million patient safety initiative that includes a transformation to electronic medical records.
Also in late 2006, a Rapid Response Team was developed at Clinton Memorial Hospital to act quickly when a patient's condition deteriorates quickly to cardiac or respiratory arrest. The RRT – more... is composed of a diverse group of clinicians who bring critical care expertise immediately to the patient bedside. Their responses are intended to reduce adverse outcomes or deaths through early and effective interventions.
Radiology Services at Clinton Memorial Hospital added interventional radiology to its offerings in late 2006. As a result the medical staff added three new interventional radiologists.
Other medical staff additions included several fulltime family medicine physicians (including two who graduated from the CMH Family Medicine Residency Program), several oncologists, a radiologist, a pediatrician and several hospitalists.
Hospitalists don't see patients outside the hospital. Their sole responsibility is to care for hospitalized patients, from admission to discharge.
In February 2007, the new Foster J. Boyd, MD, Regional Cancer Center became the first CMH location to prohibit the use of any kind of tobacco product--both inside and outside the building. Nine other CMH locations, including Clinton Memorial Hospital, will become tobacco free campuses on July 1, 2007.
CMH Home Care Services learned in the fall of 2006 that the inaugural compilation of the most successful home care providers listed CMH in the top 7 percent of the 7,600 home health agencies in the United States. The 2006 HomeCare Elite Ô, compiled by OutCome Concept Systems, based rankings on performance measures in quality, improvement and financial performance.
In mid-2006, Clinton Memorial Hospital's six-bed Subacute Care unit earned the highest possible ranking from Consumer Reports (CR). CR reviewed each state's quality information, paying special attention to deficiencies that put patients in immediate jeopardy or cause actual harm. They also considered staffing levels for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aids, and compared other quality-of-care indicators.
CMH also became the first recipient of the Greater Cincinnati Health Council's Innovative Solutions Award for its new Patient Medication Assistance program. The award was created to celebrate unique approaches to clinical or non-clinical hospital process improvements, patient care initiatives, or innovative/creative change projects.
The Inpatient Rehabilitation unit at Clinton Memorial Hospital initiated a new program which allows patients to spend some time on the unit independently in order to better prepare them for discharge and a return to their home environment. The unit collaborated with a nationwide provider of in-home personal emergency alarms to allow patients and their caregiver(s) to access independent living facilities, such as the kitchen, that are away from the nurses' station. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
