Midland Memorial Hospital Receives Heart Failure Accreditation

Midland Memorial Hospital recently received full Heart Failure Accreditation status from the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC).

Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Approximately 5 million adult Americans have heart failure and that number is rapidly increasing as our population ages. Each year, heart failure patients alone account for 12 to 15 million physician office visits, 6.5 million hospital days, and a cost of over $21 billion.

Midland Memorial strives to be the leading provider of care for heart failure patients. MMH commits itself to exceed quality and safety expectations through teamwork and partnership, providing the best care possible.

SCPC’s Heart Failure (HF) Accreditation helps facilities manage the heart failure patient population more effectively and efficiently, reduce readmissions and improve patient outcomes.

Midland Memorial Hospital has demonstrated its expertise and commitment to quality patient care by meeting or exceeding an array of stringent criteria. MMH completed a comprehensive onsite review by a team of SCPC’s accreditation review specialists. Hospitals that receive SCPC’s HF accreditation status employ an evidence-based, protocol-driven and systematic approach to patient management. This allows clinicians to reduce time to treatment and to better risk-stratify patients while also reducing the time and length-of-stay.

The Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care (SCPC) is an international nonprofit organization focusing on transforming cardiovascular care by assisting facilities in their effort to create cardiovascular centers of excellence that deliver quality, cost and patient satisfaction. As the only cross-specialty organization, SCPC provides the support needed for individual hospitals and hospital systems to effectively reduce variations of care and bridge existing gaps in treatment by providing the tools, education and support necessary to improve patient outcomes.
