How we support our patients

Reduce harm

We strictly follow practices that reduce preventable complications, improve medication safety and reduce mortality.

Reduce variation in care

We ensure consistency in care by following evidence-based best practices. Efforts include practices to reduce patient hospital readmissions (patients returning following treatment) and to improve performance across nationally recognized care processes, or core measures.

Enhance the patient experience

Everything we do is focused on patient-centered care. Efforts include our team member’s overall hospitality and behaviors, such as clear and supportive patient communication. We also ensure patients are comfortable by ensuring a quiet and clean hospital environment and responding quickly when you need help. Our goal is for you to be an active participant in managing your health. We will keep you well informed, so you can understand your medications, plan for discharge, and aftercare once you leave our hospital.

Transform our culture

Every person employed or volunteering at UF Health contributes to the care and experience of our patients. We are on a journey to transform our culture through common behaviors and consistent practices that make sure everyone with whom we come into contact has their most positive encounter at UF Health.
