Focus
on Quality—Every Single
Time!
Every
board member, staff member, and volunteer at Community Health
Partners
adheres to the
organization's
commitment to quality. CHP's motto is "Every Single Client.
Every Single Time." CHP's culture, resource allocation, and
internal structures reflect
this commitment,
ensuring that
our patients
receive the best health care available. The emphasis is on
excellence in
all services with evidence-based practices providing the backbone
to this philosophy.
CHP
continuously monitors many aspects of management, its Pillars
of Excellence as listed below. CHP generates and responds
to monthly reports in these areas in addition to annual reporting
required by various funding sources and legal/regulatory
agencies.
CHP
also participates in national, progressive efforts in the
areas of Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Depression,
Access and Redesign of Care, Oral Health Initiatives, and
a pilot
study to examine excellence in Self-Management Support. If,
through regular data collection, we discover areas of concern,
process changes are initiated in these areas. Additionally,
any organizational team or individual staff member is empowered
to improve processes at any time if systems appear to be
performing at less than optimal levels.
The following
is a brief summary of the data collection efforts currently
underway at CHP. The Balanced
Score Card reflects many measures each month, serving
as a snapshot of improvement initiatives and focusing on areas
of strategic importance.
