At the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth we have a robust governance framework that is committed to maintaining the hospital’s high standards. In ‘High Quality Care for ALL’ Lord Darzi explained that quality exists in three domains: patient safety, effectiveness of care and patient experience. At our hospital we would like to echo this statement by aiming to reduce avoidable accidents, continuing to maintain our low infection rates (an exemplary performance), and monitor patient reported outcomes and continue to analyse patient satisfaction surveys in terms of compassion, dignity and respect in a clean, safe and well managed environment.
To ensure the hospitals high standards of quality are continuously maintained, rigorous clinical audits are carried out both internally and externally by national regulatory bodies.
The Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth is regulated by the Care Quality Commission in accordance with the Care Standards Act 2000, and inspected regularly against national Minimum Standards (department of health 2002).
The Care Quality Commission is responsible for monitoring the performance of all.
