CAH quality committee flags Cerner communications and sterile-processing improvements
Summary
The Critical Access Hospital Quality committee reported completed items and outstanding work: communications issues with Cerner platforms and pharmaceutical topics remain, while sterile processing and decontamination areas continue to be improved following state visitor suggestions.
The Critical Access Hospital (CAH) Quality committee reviewed its March 18 meeting during the March 26 board meeting. Board Member Joni Johnson said the committee had four items completed and two outstanding items that include communication work with Cerner platforms and pharmaceutical topics.
Johnson noted that sterile processing and decontamination areas are consistently being improved with suggestions from a state visitor with infection-control expertise, and that strategic planning and data-collection measures have room for improvement compared with national critical access hospital quality assessment expectations.
