Report from the CEO Dr. Hochheiser announced that we had a visit from Mountain-Pacific Quality Heath, a group that addresses quality complaints and reviews discharge appeals from hospitals in Montana, Wyoming, Hawaii and Alaska. The goal is to reduce hospital acquired infections, adverse drug events, and encourage hospital reporting. St. John s has lower readmission rates in most categories than the state average.

Dr. Hochheiser was pleased to announce that the results show our employees have a high level of satisfaction with their job, benefits, view of peers and commitment to St. John s. Scores relating to satisfaction with leadership are not as high. Administration is reviewing the results and planning meetings with individual departments to discuss results and ideas for improvement. Dr. Hochheiser and Mr. Kren took a trip to the University of Utah and met with senior leadership. They are looking for collaboration with hospitals such as ours to try new models of integrating their many services through telemedicine.
