Quality & Safety | National honors reflect
culture of improvement
Sharon Anderson, BSN, MS, RN, CPHQ, chief population health officer, senior vice president of Quality and Patient Safety
and president of Carelink CareNow, said recognition at the pinnacle of the CareChex 2018 rankings for neurological and stroke,
trauma and pneumonia care, and among the highest levels for a number of clinical services, is testament that Christiana Care’s quality and safety practices equal or exceed those found at any leading health system in the nation.
She credits the health system’s extraordi- nary clinicians — the physicians, nurses,
respiratory therapists, pharmacists, indeed every single Christiana Care colleague — as some of the most incredible people in the field.
“At Christiana Care, we are never satisfied when it comes to quality and safety,” said Anderson. “We are always striving to get better.” n
