The Kentucky Hospital Association recently gave Kentucky hospitals its annual Quality Awards, honoring them for their leadership, innovation in quality, safety and commitment to patient care. The recipients were:
• Bluegrass Community Hospital in Versailles and Deaconess Union County Hospital in Morganfield – critical access hospitals
• Rockcastle Regional Hospital in Mount Vernon – hospitals with fewer than 100 beds
• Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville and St. Claire Regional Medical Center in Morehead – hospitals with 100 to -250 beds
• St. Joseph Hospital, Lexington, and Owensboro Health Regional Hospital – hospitals with more than 250 beds
• The Brook Hospital-KMI, Louisville – psychiatric hospitals
• Continuing Care Hospital, Lexington – physical rehabilitation or long-term acute care hospital
• St. Elizabeth Healthcare of Northern Kentucky – system project
• U of L Health, Louisville – KHA Quality-Centered Health System Award, a new one for the association.
“These hospitals and systems demonstrated not only a dedication to patient safety, but their persistence in going above and beyond what is expected for providing quality care,” a KHA news release said.
