Methodist
Healthcare to receive
for Performance
Excellence
Methodist
Healthcare will receive the Texas Award for Performance Excellence
(TAPE) from the Quality Texas Foundation in ceremonies June
23.
The award
represents the highest level of quality an organization can achieve
in Texas, and uses the same criteria and process as the Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award. Methodist is the first healthcare
system in South Texas to receive the award.
Methodist
officials will accept the award next month at the Texas Quest for
Excellence Conference in Addison, Texas. They will use the
results of a detailed report from the Quality Texas Foundation to
prepare for the national Baldrige process.
"This
award is a validation of the hard work our employees, physicians,
volunteers and board members have accomplished over the past year
in Methodist Healthcare's journey to excellence," said Jaime
Wesolowski, Methodist Healthcare president and CEO

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
PADGETT STRATEMANN
WE
ARE MORE THAN ACCOUNTANTS
Operating
a healthcare or bioscience business in today's climate is no easy task.
You need experienced business advisors and accountants to support
profitability and meet the myriad of compliance and regulatory
requirements you face. When we partner with a company we get to know
the ins and outs of their business in order to provide the best
solutions possible. Isn't it time you had a partner like that?
