CMH is working to become a Pathway to Excellence organization. The American Nurse Credentialing Center runs the program. It honors health care systems that are a good workplace for nurses. Pathway organizations focus on:

• Collaboration among departments
• Professional development
• Accountable leadership to empower nurses

Why Pathway to Excellence?

Our Pathway to Excellence journey at CMH is the right thing to do for our employees and our patients. Empowered nurses and other professionals provide great care. They also improve patient outcomes.

What does it look like to be a Pathway to Excellence organization?

CMH will achieve six practice standards to be a Pathway to Excellence organization. These standards are the foundation for safe practice. They lead to providing quality care and creating a positive work environment. They are:

• Shared Decision Making
• Leadership
• Safety
• Quality
• Well-Being
• Professional Development

What comes next?

In 2024, we will focus on creating a shared decision-making structure. Front-line staff will become key in decision-making. We will create a council with members from many departments. The members will be the first-line decision-makers for hospital decisions involving patient care.
