Quality Care
Â
Â
Â
It has long been a priority for Community Hospital-Fairfax to offer high quality care to our patients. In an effort to do so, we participate in a Balanced Scorecard quality improvement process. Monthly, we measure and report metrics that describe the quality of care our patients are receiving. We use this information to prioritize where we need to make improvements. We want to share some of these measures with you.
