Beebe Healthcare awards teams for quality and safety

Each year, Beebe Healthcare presents a series of awards to various multidisciplinary teams that have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to quality and safety in the clinical care environment.

The awards are presented to teams that have initiated special projects, with a goal to identify new and better approaches to maximize quality and safety for both patients and staff. The program is facilitated by Beebe’s Board Quality and Safety Committee.

This year, the board received 14 applications from various clinical teams, a testament to the organization’s commitment to quality and safety, and continued process improvement. 

The four special projects presented with 2024 quality and safety awards are: Initiation of Integrative Palliative Care-Intensive Care Unit 1:3:5 Protocol; Reduction of Inpatient and Emergency Department Patient Falls; Successful Implementation of Follow-Up Manager for Navigation of Patient Diagnostic Testing Results; and Improving Patient Throughput at Beebe Healthcare.

“Recognizing and honoring the teams that worked so hard to improve processes and ensure high-quality care is a privilege,” said Mary McLoughlin, chair of the board quality and safety committee. “The teams have accomplished so much and have kept the patient at the center of it all.”

Winning teams had an opportunity to celebrate alongside Beebe executive and board leaders.
