Committed to Continuous Safety Improvement
Every day, we strive toward zero events of preventable harm – a standard that we believe is achievable and the only acceptable target that aligns with our responsibility to provide quality healthcare. We are continuously working to deliver better outcomes for our patients, reduce risk, and build trust in our community. Safety is a core value, embedded in our culture and in every aspect of how we care for patients.
Since beginning our work on continuous safety improvement, all of our hospitals have made significant improvements:
Freeman Health System – Bentonville Medical Center has reduced its Serious Safety Event Rate (SSER) by 88.9%.
Freeman Health System – Springdale Medical Center has reduced its Serious Safety Event Rate (SSER) by 95.4%.
Freeman Health System – Siloam Springs Medical Center has reduced its Serious Safety Event Rate (SSER) by 100%.
Freeman Health System – Willow Creek Medical Center has reduced its Serious Safety Event Rate (SSER) by 93.3%.
These improvements demonstrate our commitment to patient safety and continuous improvement.
