Watonga
WATONGA, Okla. – The data is in: Watonga is home to top-quality rural hospital care in Oklahoma.
For the third straight year, the Rural Health Association of Oklahoma named Mercy Hospital Watonga as a top overall performer for the federal government’s Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MQBIP) – an effort to improve the quality of care patients receive in critical access hospitals.
“The caregivers at our hospital live in and around Watonga, just like our patients,” said Bobby Stitt, administrator of Mercy Hospital Watonga. “That’s what makes it easy to dedicate ourselves to the highest level of care we can achieve. We’re doing all of it with and for our neighbors.”
MBQIP involves collecting, measuring and reporting data on patient safety, outpatient care, patient engagement and more. It helps hospitals understand processes, outcomes, patient perceptions and other key performance areas.
Improvement priorities identified in the data help Mercy caregivers fine tune operations, partnerships and decision-making to provide the best-possible patient outcomes.
Mercy Hospital Watonga, 500 N Clarence Nash Blvd., is a 25-bed critical access hospital serving Blaine County. The hospital offers a broad range of services like emergency care, swing beds, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), therapy services and much more.
