8 Independent & Free Press, Wednesday,January 6, 2010 LINEN WAREHOUSE SAVE DIRECT FROM MANUFACTURER! OPENING JANUARY 6TH Hospital labs get high status Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) went "under the microscope" for an entire week in April of 2009 during the accreditation of its Laboratory Services at Georgetown Hospital, Milton District Hospital and OakvilleTrafalgar Memorial Hospital by the Quality Management Program-Laboratory Services (QMP-LS) provincial regulatory agency. All three HHS hospital laboratories demonstrated outstanding performance during this stringent Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) and were each recently granted the highest possible status-- a full 4-year accreditation certificate as of Sept. 21, 2009. "We were delighted with our results. It is truly reflective of our program and we are extremely proud of this accomplishment. It provides our patients, families and the community at large with assurances that we are meeting national standards of quality in our laboratories," said Rosemary Prikosovich, HHS Director of Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory Services. "Accreditation is a mandatory, comprehensive review which helps ensure standardization of laboratory services across the province-- that the quality of a laboratory result in Toronto is the same as that achieved by a laboratory in Halton Hills or Milton or at the bedside," said Prikosovich. HHS' three hospital laboratories demonstrated very high conformance rates of 96.75 per cent, 98.58 per cent and 97.37 per cent at Georgetown, Milton District, and Oakville Trafalgar, respectively. up to ly Weekre In-Sto Specials 1ST T QUALITY MERCHANDISE · BRAND NAMES · Comforters and d Sheets · Decorative Cushions shions · Sheet Sets · Kitchen K tchen & Table Linen L nen · Area Rugs · Shower Curtains · Bed In A Bag · Slips/Sheets · Bath Ceramics Ceram cs · Bath Rugs · Luxury Drapes · Licensed Hockey Bedding 70 rd Rd St Clarence % off Retail Evans Ave. Rosemary Prikosovich, HHS Director of Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory Services, Judy Maxwell, Laboratory Quality Coordinator, Dr. Nancy Liu, HHS Clinical Laboratory Director proudly display their accreditation awards.
