Quality Reporting

Mission Hospital participates in several state and national quality reporting programs.  This information helps us continually improve our care and excel in patient quality and safety. 

It is important for our patients to be informed and involved in their healthcare decisions.  We encourage you to follow the links below to see how Mission compares with state and national averages on quality measures.  Reporting is provided by:

The Joint Commission
An independent, not-for-profit organization, The Joint Commission (TJC) accredits and certifies more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization's commitment to meeting certain performance standards.

Quality Check is one tool consumers can use to help make health care decisions.  The Quality report shows accreditation status, services offered, special quality awards, and National Patient Safety Goals compliance.

Hospital Compare
Hospital Compare was created through the efforts of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Health and Human Services, and other members of the Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA).  The information on this website has been provided primarily by hospitals that have agreed to submit quality information for Hospital Compare to make public.  This tool provides you with information on how well the hospitals care for all their adult patients with certain medical conditions or surgical procedures. This information will help you compare the quality of care hospitals provide.
