University of Virginia Medical Center continues to raise the bar with patient safety measures, according to NBC29.
Here are five points:
1. The Joint Commission recertified UVA Medical Center for another three years as a level one trauma center.
2. The medical center was certified for its "strict safety precautions," according to the article.
3. The UVA Board of Visitors recently met to brainstorm how to keep safety standards high at the medical center.
4. The Joint Commission did not offer many ideas for patient safety improvement, as the medical center already exhibited high standards of safety.
5. The board will hold another meeting in October to discuss how to keep safety measures a top priority.
