Committed to Continuous Safety Improvement
Every day, we strive toward zero events of preventable harm – a standard that we believe is achievable and the only acceptable target that aligns with our responsibility to provide quality healthcare. We are continuously working to deliver better outcomes for our patients, reduce risk and build trust in our community. Safety is a core value, embedded in our culture and in every aspect of how we care for patients.
Since beginning our work on continuous safety improvement, Northwest Health - Porter has reduced its Serious Safety Event Rate (SSER) by 90.9%. This improvement demonstrates our commitment to patient safety and continuous improvement.
