Quality
Membership
The Princess Grace Hospital believes that clinical and non-clinical improvements come from strong teamwork that has the right information to drive results forward. We are constantly striving to foster a supportive environment for our staff and consultant users in which we can generate a culture of safe and evidence based practice that meets and exceeds the standards of our patients and those who regulate and accredit us. It is through the experience of our patients and personnel coupled with our ability to meet both mandatory and voluntary external standards that we measure our quality of care.>
Our Clinical Governance and Quality Strategy is based around the measurements of performance outlined within the National Minimum Care Standards. Our key quality objectives outlined in our Clinical Governance and Quality Strategy are:
- Promoting systems for increased staff and patient satisfaction
- Revalidation and Consultant Appraisal; using quality data to determine clinical privileges
- Implement basic multidisciplinary consensus on treatment, audit and outcome measurement for all key clinical areas/departments
- Establish a proactive system of communication throughout the hospital, HCA International, HCA and the independent health sector
- Foster a culture of safe and evidence based practice in order to:
- - Support regulatory and accreditation compliance
- - Make our services publicly accountable
Effective clinical governance and quality improvement is best achieved when the variety of groups and interests that exist within the hospital are able to communicate effectively with one another. We place great importance on improving the channels of communication between the hospital and its consultant users through our existing committee structure and the development of the medical speciality groups.
