Crozer-Keystone News
Springfield Earns VHA Leadership Award
Springfield Hospital was recently honored with a 2008 VHA Leadership Award for Clinical Excellence for meeting and exceeding national performance standards for clinical care in the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia. The hospital’s Acute Care Center had no cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia for 12 consecutive months. Springfield Hospital was one of only 49 hospitals to be honored with this particular award. VHA Inc. is a national alliance of more than 1,400 not-for-profit hospitals and more than 21,000 non-acute health care organizations.
Crozer Units Honored for Glycemic Control
For the fourth quarter of 2007, Crozer-Chester Medical Center’s Medical Intensive Care Unit, Cardiovascular Unit and Shock Trauma Unit ranked among the top VHA hospitals nationally for glycemic control, placing third, fifth and sixth respectively in the nation. Numerous studies have shown that improving glycemic control results in better outcomes for critically ill patients, including fewer blood transfusions, less renal failure, fewer days on ventilator and shorter stays. In addition, Crozer-Keystone Health System was chosen as the top performer for glycemic control for VHA East Coast and Pennsylvania.
