Commitment to Patient Safety
Creating a safe environment is a top priority by all stakeholders who influence patient care delivery at all Tift Regional Health System (TRHS) facilities. Our goal is to foster sharing of knowledge and information about optimal patient safety practices and models; to identify causes and influence change in systems to prevent errors and accidents; and to convene hospital medical staff and employees for ongoing dialogue in support of patient safety improvements.
