Use of Proven Techniques and Treatments

In many areas of health care, worldwide research and experience have shown that the best results can be achieved when certain very specific processes are used. This “evidence-based” approach is a cornerstone of medical quality at Holland Hospital.

Teams of experts, focused on specific clinical areas, continually identify the best evidence-based practices and apply them to every patient’s care. Using these practices ensures the best outcomes while leaving the flexibility to tailor care for each patient’s specific needs.

Groups of clinical caregivers, including physicians, gather regularly in teams which focus on improving care and applying the best practices. These teams are supported by both the physician leadership and hospital administration as they research, monitor, and improve the care provided in their area. Results will often include the creation of clinical protocols and care pathways which serve as “best practice templates” for physicians, nurses, and other professionals involved in each patient’s care.

Each of our service line areas has a team of experts who identify and apply proven techniques and treatments to deliver the most current and highest quality care at Holland Hospital:
