St. Clair Hospital

The principles guiding how the medical staff and hospital staff plan and provide patient care are expressed in the St. Clair Quality Doctrine

THE PATIENT IS THE CENTER OF CARE.

We are here to serve the patient. That is the mission upon which St. Clair Hospital was founded in 1954 and continues today. 

PREVENTION OF INJURY, INFECTION, ERRORS AND MISJUDGMENTS IS ESSENTIAL.

It is no secret that harm can come to patients in hospitals. That is why we are committed to designing systems and processes for all staff to follow in order to prevent harm to the patients who trust us with their care.

CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES AND PROTOCOLS ARE BASED ON SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE; SAFETY PRACTICES ARE BASED ON INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

Physicians and hospital staff apply the most current protocols and practices so that our patients receive the benefit of nationally approved guidelines and standards.

IMPROVING PERFORMANCE REQUIRES CONSTANT LEARNING.

Whether it is introducing new evidence-based protocols, redesigning processes, adding state-of-the-art technology, developing a new service, or learning from our improvement efforts, we continually seek new and better ways to provide care that meets the patient's needs.

METHODS FOR EVALUATING CARE AND SERVICE ARE PRACTICAL AND ANALYTICAL.

Health care can be complex but evaluating results of health care services should be easier for providers and consumers alike. Our commitment to you is to provide the most current and complete information about care at St. Clair as possible. This may be our own internal trending data or comparison with national and regional findings. Click here for quality measurement results.

With this doctrine as the foundation, St. Clair Hospital strives to improve the quality of care by advancing the diversity of patient expectations, professional standards, and regulatory requirements.
