How to Help Ensure Safe Quality Care in the Hospital

Keeping you safe when you are admitted to the hospital is our top priority.

Here's what you can do to help ensure the safest, best hospital care:

Bring any of your regular medications with you to the hospital. Ask us if any of your medications interact with those you may be given during your stay.
Ask about any procedures offered or ordered. We encourage you to do so; communication between you and your providers is important so you know what care you are receiving and why.
Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have about your care. These queries help us to help you stay safe and lower any risk of errors.
Be alert and speak up for patient safety. If you see information recorded about you your height, weight, allergies, etc. that isn't what it should be, tell your healthcare provider right away. This helps prevent errors in medical care, such as medications or dosages.
