Getting the Word Out
“We want the community to know we are committed to providing high quality, safe care at Rhode Island Hospital,” said Duquette. “This new site is one way for our patients to learn more about our commitment as well as some of the details behind specific quality and safety initiatives in place.” In addition to providing information and a hyperlink to the site from Rhode Island Hospital’s home page, Lifespan’s marketing and communications department is reaching Rhode Islanders and beyond via their robust Twitter feed (@RIHospital), Facebook page and a video on YouTube.
An Insider’s Look
Duquette says the site gives patients who have an interest relative to a specific service a snapshot of how staff and physicians are working together in various areas, including cancer care, behavioral health and women’s health, critical care, to continuously improve the quality and safety of care the hospital provides. “Moving forward, we plan to provide additional comparative quality data on this site as it becomes available,” she said. “We believe this is a very telling story, and the community will learn that they truly have one of the best hospitals in the country right in their back yard.”
