Quality

MissionZero is Lovelace Regional Hospital’s commitment to providing a culture of safety for patients, their loved ones, and one another. It is evident in every decision and action we take, understanding that we all contribute to creating a safe environment, whether we care for patients or support those who do. In alignment with our MissionZero journey to prevent patient harm, Lovelace Regional Hospital set a goal to achieve zero c-diff infections in 2023.  Clostridium Difficile, C.Diff, is a highly contagious gastrointestinal bacteria that can lead to extended length of stay, increased pain, and other complications.  To accomplish this we added c-diff discussions to our daily huddle and implemented new processes to ensure timely and appropriate collections.  We are proud to say that we achieved zero c-diff infections in 2023 at Lovelace Regional Hospital. Our journey to accomplishing this goal has not only improved patient safety but also elevated the quality of care we deliver.
