Edgerton Hospital’s Efforts to Improve the Continuum of Care

Edgerton Hospital and Health Services is a critical-access medical facility that serves the needs of Wisconsin residents in local communities such as Milton and Janesville. Dedicated to health-care performance improvement, in 2013, Edgerton Hospital partnered with Studer Group in identifying areas in which it could implement industry best practices and offer patients the best quality care possible. In addition, the partnership focused on identifying ways of ensuring that employees had a productive and motivating working environment.

Founded in Janesville, the Studer Group, is currently headquartered in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The Studer Group maintains a global reach and currently partners with 850 health-care organizations in the United States and abroad. Having achieved the 2010 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the group focuses on efficient ways of building accountability and structure into health-care organizations.

The end result of the collaborative effort between the Studer Group and Edgerton Hospital, reported at http://www.edgertonhospital.com, was to develop an institutional culture with renewed focus on service and quality throughout its entire continuum of care.
