Commitment to quality
We don’t rest on past performance – we work to improve the future for our patients.
GRHS commits time and resources to delivering the best care possible.
2008
- GRHS received a two-year grant from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to study and improve care for our patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
2009
- The HRSA grant funds were used to upgrade our patient-care software. The software tracks patients’ appointments to ensure that they receive appropriate services for age, gender or diagnosis.
- We hired two disease management coordinators to help us improve communication between our patients with diabetes and their health care providers. We’ve seen measurable results: 55 percent of our patients with diabetes now have blood pressure under 130/80, a 15-percent improvement.
2010
- For the second year of our HRSA grant, we’ve expanded our focus to include patients who have or are at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
