Quality patient care is our focus!  Tri-State Memorial Hospital participates in a nationwide Quality Improvement initiative through CMS (Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services)  and is compared to other hospitals.  In many areas Tri-State Memorial Hospital scores are higher than both Washington state and National average.

Surgical Care

Surgical Care Improvement Project Quality of Care Measures - Hospitals can reduce the risk of infection after surgery by making sure they provide care that’s known to get the best results for most patients. Examples: giving the recommended antibiotics at the right time before surgery; maintaining the patient’s temperature and blood glucose (sugar) at normal levels; removing catheters that are used to drain the bladder in a timely manner after surgery.

Hospitals can also reduce the risk of cardiac problems associated with surgery by: making sure that certain prescription drugs are continued in the time before, during and just after surgery. This includes drugs used to control heart rhythms and blood pressure; giving drugs that prevent blood clots and using other methods such as special stockings that increase circulation in the legs.

Heart Attack

Heart Attack or Chest Pain Quality Care Measures - An acute myocardial infarction (AMI), also called a heart attack, happens when one of the heart’s arteries becomes blocked and the supply of blood and oxygen to part of the heart muscle is slowed or stopped. When the heart muscle doesn’t get the oxygen and nutrients it needs, the affected heart tissue may die. These measures show some of the standards of care provided, if appropriate, for most adults who have a heart attack.
