What is Quality?

Our mission is to improve the health of the people in the communities we serve. We are committed to delivering evidence-based, timely, compassionate and patient-centered care. Providing accurate information on our clinical performances is our way of demonstrating this commitment. Mary Washington Healthcare is always striving to improve our quality of care while providing the safest environment for our patients. There are many ways to measure quality. One measure of the quality of medical care is represented in the actual outcomes for the diagnosis or procedure. Another is how satisfied our patients are with the care and service provided during a recent hospital or outpatient visit.

Selecting a hospital can be a challenging task. But with the right tools, consumers can access a variety of information to help with decision-making. Several public websites now offer national and statewide hospital quality data. In this section of the site you can explore detailed statistics on our most recent clinical data.
