Committed to Your Care
TMC Receives Quality Improvement Award
At Texoma Medical Center, we pride ourselves on improving
our already high-quality medical service. So it was especially gratifying
when TMC was recently honored with a special award for its commitment
to continuous improvement.
TMC earned the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Achievement Award from TMF® Health Quality Institute, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Texas. This award honors hospitals throughout the state that are performing quality initiatives aimed at improving outcomes in patient care.
Specifically, the award acknowledges hospitals for improving care related
to heart attacks, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care. These priority
areas were targeted because they measure care for common, serious health
conditions that affect all adult patients.
The quality measures, such as an initial antibiotic dose within four hours of admission for patients with pneumonia, are designed to ensure hospitals provide care consistent with current medical guidelines.
