Baptist Works to Improve Patient Care
 
 story16-1
Cardiothoracic surgeons James O’Rourke, M.D., and Robin Howe, M.D., along with cardiologist Lowell Roberts, M.D., work together to heal hearts at Baptist.

Regular reviews of patient feedback and results prompt Baptist to implement new programs and procedures to benefit patients, such as:
  • Lifesaving drugs given to heart attack patients upon admission to the ER.
  • Standard antibiotics given routinely (every four hours) to pneumonia patients.
  • Congestive heart failure class offered to educate heart patients and family members.
