Quality Reporting
For well over 100 years, entities within the BroMenn Healthcare System have been touching the lives of those living in central Illinois. While advances in technology have greatly changed how we treat various conditions, the personal attention provided our patients, and our commitment to quality care and patient safety have remained constant. Whether it is clinical care and medical services, or support staff and facilities management, every member of the BroMenn Healthcare family plays an important role in promoting excellence in caring and service.
Over the next few years, there will be an expanded effort to increase consumer knowledge about hospitals and healthcare organizations in an attempt to aid consumers in making better informed healthcare decisions. BroMenn Healthcare supports this effort and is pleased to provide this report noting BroMenn’s performance on a number of nationally recognized quality indicators and practices.
More detailed information regarding each available indicator, including an explanation of abbreviations and descriptions of the indicator significance, may be found within the Quality Measure Definitions pages. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and our Quality Report Disclaimer are also available.
