Litzenberg Receives $15,000 Cardinal Challenge Grant
Litzenberg Memorial County Hospital has joined the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's 5 Million Lives Campaign, a national campaign to dramatically reduce incidents of medical harm over a 24-month period, ending December 9, 2008. The campaign represents a continuation of the largest improvement effort undertaken in recent history by the healthcare industry.
The campaign was formally unveiled December 12, 2006, and has been endorsed by the American Hospital Association, the American Nurses Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Joint Commission.
Donna Jorgensen, who applied for the grant on behalf of the hospital, was recently contacted by CIMRO of Nebraska and the Nebraska Hospital Association to acknowledge the grant award of $15,000 to be used in conjunction with the 5 Million Lives Campaign to reduce medical harm throughout the nation.
Jorgensen, who oversees Quality Improvement for Litzenberg, will begin to implement the goals she set forth in her grant application through education and other resources and tools to ensure patients receive appropriate care at Litzenberg and avoid preventable injuries.
