Quality Highlights Our nurses have been instrumental in helping us earn local, regional, and national recognition in a variety of target initiatives: CKHS was the only VHA system to receive two Clinical Effectiveness Leadership Awards - one for our hospitals' system-wide intravenous therapy program with uniform labeling and standardized premixing, and the other for the Office of Disease Management's cost-effective chronic disease management program. CKHS ranked in the top 10% of 135 regional and national VHA hospitals for care of ischemic stroke patients when care processes, outcomes, complications, and early interventions of care were measured. CKHS Community Health measures are improving and far surpassed the National Healthy People 2000 goals in breast examination and mammograms, prostate examinations, blood pressure screening, and pap smear tests for women under 50 years old.
