upon the experience of others
Mercy Memorial participates with 20 other Mercy hospitals in
a three state area to find ways to improve safety for our patients.

evaluate the potential risk for medical errors

Sharing information
that results in important changes in the delivery of care
-
Ongoing
education about safety practices

addition, the hospital uses a time out protocol for correct site surgery
that gives nurses, surgeons and medical teams a final checklist to make sure
they are performing the right surgery on the right patient.
