Award of Excellence

Brazosport Regional Health System received the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Award of Excellence from TMF Health Quality Institute, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for Texas. TMF established the award program in partnership with Texas Hospital Association, Texas Medical Association, Texas Organization of Rural & Community Hospitals and Texas Osteopathic Medical Association.
The Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Award honors Texas hospitals that are performing quality initiatives aimed at improving outcomes in patient care by recognizing those hospitals that have improved their initial baseline performance on specific national quality measures. To earn the Award of Excellence, a hospital had to achieve or maintain performance between 90 and 100 percent on the appropriate care measure.
The award acknowledges hospitals for improving care related to acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure, and pneumonia. These clinical areas have been designated as national health care priorities by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission, the nation’s predominant independent, non-profit, standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. The award recognizes hospitals that are active in quality improvement and have made the required improvement on a composite scoring system, called the appropriate care measure (ACM). The ACM consists of ten measures: five acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), two heart failure, and three pneumonia measures.
Out of more than 390 eligible Texas hospitals, Brazosport Regional was one of only 63 that have met the criteria and have been presented with the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Award of Excellence.
We’re honored to have received the Texas Health Care Quality Improvement Award of Excellence from TMF Health Quality Institute. Such an award demonstrates the BRHS commitment to providing the highest quality, most cost-effective healthcare for the communities we serve. And it underscores what we dedicate ourselves to everyday, providing you with The Right Care…Right Here.
