A Safe and Harm-Free Environment
Just about everyone will say that they get nervous or worried when they need health care services. Whether it’s a simple blood test or a major surgery, there are fears that arise when we entrust ourselves to a system that most of us know very little about.
Safety is an essential part of a high-quality health care service. At Holland Hospital, our definition of safety is extremely broad, and it has led us to develop processes which enhance patient safety in ways that may surprise you.
Patient safety experts at Holland Hospital have researched and identified “best practices” which have been proven to maximize effectiveness and minimize errors. These practices have been put into place at every opportunity to provide the safest environment for our patients.
Holland Hospital also participates in statewide and nationwide safety programs that enable us to learn from errors that occur at other hospitals. Our approach is to continually adopt the safest practices before a mistake can occur.
Our patient surveys indicate that 99 percent of our patients feel assured of their safety while in our care. And although we are proud of this result, we do not take it for granted. Your safety is a top priority at Holland Hospital.
