McLaren Bay Region has been awarded with MPRO's 2019 Governor's Award of Excellence for Excellence in Effective Reporting and Measurement. The award recognizes improvement in nursing communication, a reduction in central-line blood stream infections and a reduction in surgical site infections for abdominal hysterectomies.

This year, more than 130 Michigan hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes, inpatient psychiatric facilities, ambulatory surgery centers and home health agencies were honored with the Governor's Award of Excellence. This award recognizes participants for their dedication and success in improving healthcare quality and patient safety in Michigan. To be eligible for the award, participants must have achieved, maintained and continually improved in specific and rigorous milestones related to the award they received.

"We are fortunate to be able to partner with McLaren Bay Region and all the other dedicated organizations across the state of Michigan," said MPRO President and CEO Leland Babitch, MD, MBA. "To be able to recognize these outstanding accomplishments with the Governor's office highlights the importance of improving healthcare quality in our state."

The Governor's Award of Excellence was first developed in 2003. The current award is based upon work from 2017-2018 in the following areas:

Improving heart health

Increasing adult immunizations

Lowering the risk of infection in hospitals

Effective reporting and measurement
