Quality / Accreditation
Quality Reporting
EMHS is dedicated to continually improving patient care practices. As a not-for-profit facility we believe the public should know how we are performing in this endeavor. We report to national organizations and state agencies that promote quality initiatives in healthcare. All indicators or safe practices have extensive research to support their use; all hospitals can use the same method for calculating the statistics. EMHS wants the community to have a better understanding of the quality of care in Susquehanna County. We have provided Quality Links that show the current volume and/or statistical indicators for review. These reporting methods are “open”, which means anyone can see how the results were obtained. We may not completely agree with the assessment of all items reported, however this national definition and reporting of our performance is our assurance that we do not selectively report only our strong points.
Accreditation
“EMHS is continually prepared for survey in compliance with quality care and patient safety standards as set forth by the PA Dept. of Health and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
