What are quality outcomes?

Quality in healthcare is generally described as collecting and analyzing clinical data over a period of time. Measuring quality data enables us to visualize area where we are providing the best care for our patients and identify areas where we can improve.

Our focus is to provide our patients with quality healthcare that is:

Safe: A secure environment free of medical errors during stay.

Effective: Healthcare provided based on scientific knowledge and best practice.

Patient-centered: Healthcare that is truly considerate of patients’ cultural traditions, personal preferences and ideals, family conditions and lifestyles.

Timely: Decreasing waits and sometimes harmful delays for those receiving and provide healthcare.

Efficient: Avoiding waste, maximizing resource utilization including waste of equipment, supplies, ideas and energy.

Equitable: Healthcare that is fair, unbiased and reasonable.

All hospitals are not the same. There are differences in experience, approach to patient care and level of the technologies and therapies. UT Medical Center's quality outcomes are continually demonstrated through its experience, recognition and quality care based on our committment to patient safety and quality as well as each person's customer service experience.
