RMH has recognized five employees as 2011 Safety Champions for their dedication and commitment to strengthening the culture of patient safety at RMH.

“Safety is a core value at RMH, and patient safety is the foundation for the care we provide,” said RMH President and CEO Jim Krauss. “Our safety champions exemplify this value, and we commend them for being role models for patient safety.”
The Safety Champion recognition, which will continue annually, was launched this year to emphasize RMH’s commitment to patient safety, noted Rebecca Jessie, director of Quality Improvement and Patient Safety. Candidates were nominated by RMH staff and physicians for their outstanding contributions to patient safety.
Members of the Patient Safety First team evaluated the 45 entries and selected the five winners. The 2011 Safety Champions were announced and honored at a special reception in the hospital.
“We congratulate our 2011 Safety Champions, and all those who were nominated, for achieving this recognition,” Jessie said. “Together we are passionate about keeping our patients safe by ensuring we first do no harm. RMH Safety Champions make this statement their personal mission and move our organization forward through exemplary teamwork around this goal.”
