The Healthcare Services Group Charitable Foundation (HSGCF) has awarded a grant of $25,000 to Texas County Memorial Hospital. The primary objective of this grant is to enhance patient safety, quality of care, and positive outcomes for all patients. The hospital will use these funds to develop and implement innovative quality and safety programs in collaboration with healthcare providers.
“We express our gratitude to HSGCF for their exceptional support and generosity in enhancing the quality of patient care, safety, and well-being in Texas County,” Gettys said. “Their remarkable vision to finance healthcare programs promoting these areas is truly commendable.”
Gettys announced that the hospital will use grant funding to upgrade its video system network. This upgrade will include the installation of two digital video recorders, 25 new interior digital cameras, and two exterior digital cameras. Furthermore, they will also be installing power openers for the emergency room doors and employee access control panels leading into the emergency room. In addition to this, all TCMH employees will receive enhanced de-escalation training.
Established in 2012, HSGCF was created to support healthcare programs that focus on improving the quality of patient care, patient safety, and community wellness. In partnership with the HSG (Healthcare Services Group) Risk Management and Patient Safety Division, the HSGCF has developed the Patient Safety Grant to support the Missouri Hospital Plan members. This grant supports innovative patient safety and quality initiatives that reduce or eliminate the risk of adverse events or improve patient care.
“We are very pleased to award the 2024 Patient Safety Grant to Texas County Memorial Hospital,” Becky Branson Hill, Healthcare Services Group vice president, said. “We eagerly anticipate the successful implementation of their projects.”
